Actually I solved the problem: since msmtp-ssl complained about the file 'libgsasl.7.dylib' I tried to reinstall the two packages gsasl9 gsasl9-dev which were required for the build of msmtp-ssl. Apparently they were still present as .deb pakages in my system, they installed with no problem and since then I seem to be able to use msmtp (the msmtp-ssl package still appeared as installed after the failed builds). I still maintain my question on debfoster though: sould I avoid to use it if I am not totally sure on what I am doing?
