>Description:
When installing any milter from the ports collection, the installation will fail is sendmail is also installed from ports.
/usr/ports/mail/sendmail/bsd.milter.mk detects sendmail is installed from the ports colelction, but fails to find the dependencies.
As a result is tries to install sendmail again, which often fails.
Because sendmail didn't install properly, the dependant milter fails to install.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail-sasl
make install
cd /usr/ports/mail/sid-milter
make install
