Your system's libc doesn't support Blowfish crypt, as mentioned in doveadm-pw(1) <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Pw#section_options>. The crypt-hashes are salted hashes. `doveadm pw` generates a random salt, each time it is invoked. Therefore you will see different hashes, even when you enter the same password multiple times.
