Well, sure, LibreSSL is available in ports, but the base system has
returned to OpenSSL:
$ uname -sr
FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p3
$ /usr/bin/openssl version -a
OpenSSL 1.1.1h-freebsd 22 Sep 2020
built on: reproducible build, date unspecified
platform: FreeBSD-amd64
options: bn(64,64) rc4(16x,int) des(int) idea(int) blowfish(ptr)
compiler: clang
OPENSSLDIR: "/etc/ssl"
ENGINESDIR: "/usr/lib/engines"
Seeding source: os-specific
There is also an OpenSSL in ports:
$ pkg info openssl| head
openssl-1.1.1k,1
Name : openssl
Version : 1.1.1k,1
Installed on : Fri Mar 26 11:54:30 2021 EDT
Origin : security/openssl
Architecture : FreeBSD:12:amd64
Prefix : /usr/local
Categories : security devel
Licenses : OpenSSL
Maintainer : brnrd@???
If some user is building with LibreSSL, that's their choice, but the
Exim project is surely not obligated to indulge them forever if
maintaining three TLS backends is too much effort.
There's nothing compelling about Exim + LibreSSL vs. Exim + OpenSSL
at this point in time.
