I happen to have an email server with GSSAPI auth (which I had never tried with balsa before). I'm happy to report that with balsa recompiled with gss from current master I am succesfully able to authenticate with GSS over IMAP.
Great, thanks a lot for testing!
Maybe this isn't relevant here, but while it did start automatically authenticating with method=GSSAPI over IMAP without any configuration as soon as I had a ticket for the kerberos domain, I can't figure out how to configure it to use GSS for SMTP.
Currently, the authentication methods are limited to LOGIN, PLAIN and CRAM-(MD5|SHA1) for SMTP (the same for POP3, plus APOP and USER). I shifted the code to a library within Balsa recently, so it would be relatively easy to add GSS/Kerberos to both SMTP and POP3. Unfortunately, all providers I have access to support LOGIN and PLAIN only (which is safe as they enforce encryption). I made the tests with the other methods using INetSim (<http://www.inetsim.org/>). Do you know a provider supporting GSS/Kerberos? Which one? Setting up Kerberos is a real PITA, so I would prefer to avoid it if possible, or maybe I find a pre-configured Docker container...
By the way, since this is my first post to the list: thanks for Balsa !
Thanks; as always, any suggestion for improvements is highly welcome! Cheers, Albrecht.
