I do want to clarify that this fix does not solve an upgrade scenario.
It will allow new installations to work with no problem. Dovecot stores
a hashed form of the password. To perform an automated upgrade, we would
need access to a clear form the password, which we do not have, so there
is no automated upgrade path.

Once this patch has been accepted, the solution is to run dovecot in
non-fips mode. If you require all users to enter a new password (which
then uses the new longer salt), this upgrades that user's mailbox. Once
all users to enter a new password and their mailboxes have been
upgraded, then you can return to running dovecot in fips mode.

Title:
  Enabling FIPS causes SALT to be 8 bytes, but OpenSSL 3.0.2 checks if
  SALT is < 16 bytes, breaking Dovecot and possibly other packages.
