You could right a script that parses your /etc/shadow and writes those
password hashes to dbmail (via dbmail-adduser) periodically. That
is assuming you use crypt() hashes - if your passwords are stored
as standard md5 hashes, there was a patch for that on the list quite
a while back (md5pass.patch) - if you use the linux "salted" md5
hashes, it's not an option (noone has written support for that yet,
afaik); in that case, you just have to write the password to both
dbmail and the system shadow file whenever you change them.
