[Slackbuilds-users] OpenSMTPD and TLS

I tested the opensmtpd.SlackBuild on a mail server today and made
a couple of changes.

First there is a new version of OpenSMTPD, 5.4.2p1

     VERSION=${VERSION:-5.4.2p1}

Second, I added another option to the configure for TLS:

     --with-ca-file=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

This option eliminates this warning on receiving TLS input:

warn: unable to load CA file /etc/ssl/cert.pem: No such file or directory

The /etc/ssl/cert.pem file is where OpenBSD stores its certificates all 
bundled together.

On Slackware and Debian they are stored in the file:

     /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
