Let's Encrypt / Certbot certificate renewal crashes dovecot

Virtualmin

Webmin: 1.942
Virtualmin: 6.09
OS: Centos 7
Certbot: 1.0.0

I have certbot installed.
When Let’s Encrypt renews a certificate dovecot crashes and cannot restart.
I cannot restart it with “systemctl restart dovecot”. I need to reboot the VPS.

However, when I use Certbot in the command line the certificate renews and dovecot does not crash.
In addition, when I look at the server’s Let’s Encrypt entry (Virtualmin… Server Configuration…SSL Certificate) the new certificate expiration date is not recognized.

As a workaround the dovecot crashes, I will set Let’s Encrypt to “renew manually” and use Certbot for all the renewals. But I would like to know why Let’s Encrypt auto renewals is causing the crashes.
