ppolicy is applied through pam. It is followed only when code knows about it
and follows it.

Get change_password plugin from SquirrelMail 1.5.1
(http://squirrelmail.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/squirrelmail/tags/rel-1_5_1/squirrelmail/plugins/change_password/)
and set minimal password length there. If you run ldap based email service,
you don't need features that available only in change_ldappass plugin. Etch
does not have PHP crack extension. filtering is needed only by some setups.
smb passwords are not used in email setups.
