v2.2.17 release candidate released

[Odhiambo Washington]

Compiled successfully on FreeBSD-{8.4|9.3|10.1}.

Running also on those and watching|listening for any complains.

Although on one of the 8.4, I have seen so many IMAP process started. I
hope this is some uses connecting via IMAP. I have never seen that before.
