I'm seeing a lot of:

Jul  8 17:43:18 server dovecot[163599]: auth-worker(163606): Error: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=163605,uid=97): auth-worker<1678>: dict(user@example.tld,XX.XX.XX.Xx,<7z/eWyFW2YNDqTMh>): Invalid password in passdb: crypt() failed: Invalid argument

in /var/log/maillog after cPanel forced an update to our servers that I didn't ask for.

  I believe the larger thread should cover this one: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/41815919272343
