Last openssl update brakes localhost email sending

sendmail, when acting as a client, employs opportunistic encryption by default.  Local mail submission done via command line uses the MSP configuration /etc/mail/submit.cf to send the mail.  That submit.cf is built to relay the mail to an MTA host, localhost by default, but can be configured to use a central mail server as well if desired (e.g., for a centralized mail hub, centralized queue management, etc.).  The standard submit.cf makes no assumptions about the location of the MTA host and therefore doesn't disable encryption.

One other use case (likely not a concern) is to prevent other privileged users from easily snooping localhost traffic (`tcpdump -i lo0 -X -s 0 port 25`).
