Edit: Well, that tells me they were, which I'm glad has changed. But I'm still going to be cautious.

Let me clarify further.  Passwords are not stored on the mailserver in plaintext, they are encrypted using md5, and Sean never even had access to the md5 hashes.  Through the GUI I gave him, it is only possible to change a password.

Regarding the signup script, new accounts displayed password before activation; existing ones were not and are not accessible.  There were only a small number of accounts activated by Sean.  Regardless, if you would like to change your password, you are free to do so.

I am no longer helping SonicBoom out due to this problem.

No, that just happened a few minutes ago...I'd really like to know why i didnt get an activate email when you were helping.

Tbh Marissa, I haven't seen your request during the 3 days I was activating accounts.So you have to talk to SonicBoom about that.

has mine been activated if you know?? thnx

I think I activated your a bit ago. Go see!

Great SB, I'm glad you've rectified the problems I've outlined. I don't mean to start some kind of flame-fest, this is just a notice and I mean no disrespect, but you should ask the users if they're comfortable with people having, access, however little, to their passwords. That's just my opinion, thanks for providing the service to us, I really do appreciate it. I'm just angry because of the problems outlined in my first post..but they seem to be fixed so, let's get on with life .

Alright, here's a policy privacy I propose to address this, please let me know if it works for everybody and we can get this resolved.

I see why some people may be concerned, but in all honesty, some responsibility is down to us. We signed up to it, did anyone ask about the encryption etc before hand? Did anyone care? its just an example of how users have to be vigilent at all times.

Hmm... theres nothing more to say.

I didn't even think to ask :\, I thought it would be naturally done. Either way, you're right, it is partly our fault too.

Perfect I think, but either way, this has opened up my eyes, I'm now going to investiage services before using them.

Specially after the youvegotpost incident, damn those admins on there were real asses (or was it one admin?). Anyway, thanks again SB.

Once again, no disrespect intended, nor do I aim to offend anyone.
