>Description:
	mail/dovecot2 has two components: a backend and a worker. The worker is launched every time a connection is started, while the backend sits and waits.
	When upgrading, a version mismatch between the two occurs and the backend refuses any connection from the worker because of it. User should be
	alerted, so I just added a couple of lines to the "MESSAGE" file.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Upgrade mail/dovecot2 from a lower (minor) version.
>Fix:
	Restarting Dovecot2 after any upgrade. At least, user should be alerted (patch follows):

 I feel this is not dovecot2 specific matter.

 Generally, following step is safe for updating package:
   1. stop service
   2. upgrade package
   3. start service

 (I know some services will not stop cleanly if binaries/settings have mismatch
   with running environments)
