            Bug ID: 244937
           Summary: Unbreak buildworld for sendmail and SMTP
                    Authentication

FreeBSD Handbook's chapter "Electronic Mail" has section "SMTP Authentication"
that dates back the times FreeBSD had not any OpenSSL version in base system.
Now since we have different OpenSSL versions in different supported branches
(1.0.2 for stable/11 and 1.1.1+ for stable/12) that differ in API and ABI, this
section needs small correction because it's broken for stable/11 for the
moment.

It's paragraph 4 suggests:

Next, edit /etc/make.conf and add the following lines:

SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/sasl -DSASL
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2

The line "SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib" should be replaced with another
one:

SENDMAIL_LDADD=/usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so

That's because the only port's library our stock sendmail needs is really
libsasl2.so. With -L/usr/local/lib buildworld process links sendmail with ports
version of libcrypto what is wrong for stable/11 which needs base system
version of libcrypto. The problem's solved with noted one-line change.

I'd like to see this change performed before 11.4-RELEASE coming soon.
