Dovecot release v2.3.7

[Eirik Rye]

Please disregard this. My apologies.

The issue appears to have been caused by an unrelated network issue with 
one of the directors, that coincidentally occurred at almost the exact 
same time.

A potential improvement would be if the "Ring SYNC seq=XX appears to 
have got lost" error message would indicate which director/server it 
pertains to.

Best regards,
Eirik Rye
