is dovecot 2.3.20 compatible with YESCRYPT?
To Whom It May Concern,
Fedora 38 uses YESCRYPT by default to create the passwords stored in "shadow". The prefix is "$y$".
Ref: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/password_schemes...
The nearest supported password scheme is blowfish.
Can dovecot 2.3.20 read passwords created with YESCRYPT?

Hi!
If the scheme is {CRYPT}, it should end up by default into crypt(), so if it supports $y$, it should work. But unfortunately dovecot can't create those passwords, so you need to generate yourself.

Dear Aki,
Thank you. Dovecot 2.3.20 is compatible with YESCRYPT.
Please close the incident.
