Hello i’m trying to setup my email on my server per the tutorial posted on digital ocean(https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-server-using-postfix-dovecot-mysql-and-spamassassin). When I get to the step:
INSERT INTO servermail.virtual_users
(id, domain_id, password , email)
VALUES
(‘1’, ‘1’, ENCRYPT(‘firstpassword’, CONCAT(‘$6$’, SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))), ‘email1@example.com’),
(‘2’, ‘1’, ENCRYPT(‘secondpassword’, CONCAT(‘$6$’, SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))), ‘email2@example.com’);
I get an error: ERROR 1305 (42000): FUNCTION servermail.ENCRYPT does not exist
How can this be fixed so I can have access to email. Thanks.

Hello,
Think that the ENCRYPT function was depricated in the latest versions. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/encryption-functions.html
You should be able to use the SHA2() https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/encryption-functions.html#function_sha2
Hope this might help you.

Hi @brianallen714,
Can you confirm where exactly are you getting this error, the above mentioned
Needs to be added in your MySQL DB which you have configured previously.
Are you executing the query there?
