I've run into this enough times that I thought I'd write a little script to do the work for me.
It's just a simple one line call to python, but I wrapped it with some argument parsing.
It's a python script that takes a password and returns the salted sha512 hash by default. sha256 and md5 can be specified with switches.
We maintain multiple repositories, many of which have the same rpms repeated in different locations. In order to save space we use hardlinking extensively. The hardlink command does an ok job of finding things to link, but we are only really interested in rpms and don't want repomod.xml or comps getting linked so I wrote a little python script to hard link all the rpms based on a checksum. The script is over at my github. hardlink_rpms

Our aliases are spammed like any other account, but filtering on them would require making a real account. I wanted to be able to filter aliases without creating accounts for everything. My first solution was to create an account and filter on that one, then using $original_local_part I could forward to a filtered alias. This works but if someone discovers the filtered alias, they can bypass the filtering.

$recepient - receiver of the message
$time - current time in seconds since the epoch
