Encrypted passwords for Mail and Mysql
Hey guys,

at first: Thank you for your great work! I'm currently testing Omega on my new server and I'm very happy with it. Currently stats aren't working, but i hope this will be fixed in the upcoming stable release.
Btw: If you need help - i would be happy if I can help you.

There's only one thing which shocked me a bit:
Why are the MySQL and Mail passwords stored as plaintext in the database? At least Courier should support md5-encrypted passwords and I don't understand why the MySQL-Passworts have to be saved as plaintext.

Maybe I'm under a misapprehension 'cause i don't have a complete overview about the code but I think it should be much more secure when the passwords aren't saved in plaintext.

Best regards
David
