A SHA1 hash is taken of the original token value, and the bottom 40 bits are
used as the token from then-on. There is a plugin call which can be used to
store raw token -> hash value data, but otherwise the raw token information is
lost after the message is processed.

I don't think there's outright documentation about it. There was a lot of
chatter about it on the lists a couple of years ago when the change to
using the hash happened. I recall there being some talk about it recently
too, though I can't find it via the archives right now either. :(
