How to fix postfix (Mail) on macOS Sierra 10.12.6? (TLS is required, but our TLS engine is unavailable)

I can't seem to get postfix to work. Every time I send something and error comes up `(TLS is required, but our TLS engine is unavailable)`



**Trouble Shooting Steps** (that didn't work)



- Deleted `openssl` in `/opt/local/bin` forcing it to use the one in `/usr/bin`

- Replaced `openssl` in `/opt/local/bin` with `openssl` in `/usr/bin` from macOS High Sierra

- Replaced `openssl` in `/usr/bin` with `openssl` in `/usr/bin` from macOS High Sierra

- Installed `openssl` from `brew`



/etc/postfix/main.cf

-



relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes

smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

smtp_use_tls = yes

smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt

tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom

smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

smtp_always_send_ehlo = yes

smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain

inet_protocols = ipv4



/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

-

[smtp.gmail.com]:587 XXXXXXXX@gmail.com:XXXXXXXX
