I have found out undocumented switch for sendmail build :)
It is: -D_FFR_SMTP_SSL and it allows the following:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Port=465, Name=MTA-SSL, M=s')dnl

What M=s gives ? sendmail.h says:
# define D_SMTPS        's'     /* SMTP over SSL (smtps) */

And it works :) smpts is listening on 465  :)
And we can say "good byeee" to stunnel :))

Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win.
