What happened in 2.3.16 to doveadm? You can no longer use the command as an unprivileged user like you could in 2.3.8

Roundcube uses "doveadm pw" to change users passwords and runs as user apache. This works in 2.3.8 but in 2.3.16 you get an error. doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 19: ssl_key: Can't open file /etc/letsencrypt/live/example_cert/privkey.pem: Permission denied

This is fixed with

and will be in 2.3.17
