How is that done?
Is not openssl part of the Debian and derivatives Linux distros?

Well, I Googled and found a suggested remedy:
sudo apt install libssl-dev

After this was done I ran the exact same code in Lazarus debugger and this time
it got through and the emails were delivered!

Follow-on question:
Do I have to install dev packages like this on the  target system as well (one
where the application is not going to be built on?

Or is it only needed to be on the *development* system?
