I start up s-nail on a mailbox and send myself a test message. Fine. It arrives. Then, without doing anything in between, I try to send exactly the same test message again and I get

s-nail: SMTP server: 535 5.7.0 authentication failed

I have the settings

mta=myname@smtp.theirdomain:587
smtp-auth=gssapi
from=myname@theirdomain

and I have a kerberos ticket.

The smtp server is some sort of linux machine, no involvement of Microsoft or Gmail.

Evidently something changes between the first test message and the second, but I don't know what it could be.

Sending through the same smtp server with the alpine mail program, there is no such problem.
