rc7 and plain text mail passwords changed?

[supaplex]

if I compare the rc5 backup and the rc7 mail_users tables, only the passwords seem to differ. Is there anyway to make sure they stay in plain text? I checked ispcp.conf, but I don't see any apparent cause to change all these passwords shortly after the upgrade.

ispcp-rqst-mngr wasn't running prior to this, and it was run to complete some other requests. Isn't this normally suppose to be running? How is it suppose to run?

Thanks in advance
