    Hi,
    After some openssl update (from Ubu 18.04 to 20.04) the crypt() function does not accept special chars in salt anymore.
    Very old mail passwords still have (random) the '+' in the salt - this passwords does not work after Update
    I could not find any dovecot / openssl / linux way to tell openssl/dovecot to accept this special chars in the salt.
    Anyone know a trick about this?

    I don't have the clear text passwords and there is no way to decrypt it (Only way is tell the customer to change there password).
    thx
