Auth-worker, unknown scheme ARGON2ID

On my current mail server I was able to upgrade everyone’s password scheme to ARGON2ID with no issues, I just had to have: service auth { vsz_limit = 0 } This was an older version of macOS than the new server I’m trying to migrate to. The new one has Dovecot compiled with same configure option
