Description
From #618(ee):
The salt-master upgrading to 3006.17 via unattended upgrades brought the new default minimum authentication setting
Remediation:
I set a more permissive authentication mechanism temporarily on the salt-master to override the new default (this is only necessary currently for the mail host which runs salt 2018 series.
ee@salt:~$ sudo cat /etc/salt/master.d/hold-back.conf minimum_auth_version: 0

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Salt minimum-auth-version documentation and the current /etc/salt/master.d/hold-back.conf override. Compare the mail host's Salt 2018 series with the salt-master at 3006.17, then determine and record the supported authentication configuration or upgrade path that removes the temporary workaround.
