Qpopper's configure script tries to detect sendmail in a number of common paths, but the first guess will always fail, because sbindir contains an embedded shell variable. As a result, systems without base sendmail (more specifically, without /usr/sbin/sendmail) will fail configure step. Additional info: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2012-March/073828.html Fix: The fix attached preserves the old (incidental) behavior of prefering /usr/sbin/sendmail, but will also search $LOCALBASE/sbin/sendmail. People with sendmail not below LOCALBASE or any of the common search paths are left in the cold (but righfully so). How-To-Repeat: mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.off make -C /usr/ports/mail/qpopper clean configure
