>Description:
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

>How-To-Repeat:
mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.off
make -C /usr/ports/mail/qpopper clean configure

>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).
