[aleksey]

I have set up Suse 11 x64 whit postfix and squirrelmail and almost everything is working ok :).

so the question is , how can a user can change his password in the squirrelmail interface ?

Thank you for your help

Passwords can not be changed in squirrelmail. But he can change the password in the ispconfig mailuser login.

[aleksey]

he doesn't have access to ispconfig it runs only in the internal network.
any other options ?

I don't think so...

What password method does ISPconfig use for the user passwords?

Because squirrelmail has quite a few password change plugins, SQL,LDAP, Courier, PAM... /etc/password..

ISPConfig uses /etc/passwd. But it is highly recommnded that users change their own password in the mailuser login in ISPConfig if you dont want to risk to corrupt your setup.
