For the E-mail password can use MD5 value instead of direct plain text password, such as through the monit command line e-mail password into ciphertext, like $ Monit -md5 = aw3421sjK The output is as follows: Iafdf14-242sadfkaskdfd1000000000222dfafsadfasddfkkhhgukjjjjj

set mailserver
    smtp.gmail.com port 587
    username "swan.bus.go" password "Iafdf14-242sadfkaskdfd1000000000222dfafsadfasddfkkhhgukjjjjj"
    using ssl,smtp.163.com port 465
    username "monitservice" password "Iafdf14-242sadfkaskdfd1000000000222dfafsadfasddfkkhhgukjjjjj"
    using SSLAUTO with timeout 15 seconds
    using hostname "163.com"

    It is not possible to use the MD5 hash, as the password is used to authenticate to the mailserver using either "AUTH PLAIN" or "AUTH LOGIN" method. These methods require the plaintext password (base64 encoded), which cannot be reconstructed from the MD5 hash.
