Well, that one is actually *really* old, about 6 years, and for libesmtp 1.0.4. 
 The latest version is 1.0.6.

If Brian Stafford doesn't re-appear (his name seems to be quite common; DuckDuckGo 
finds numerous hits, and LinkedIn has > 120 members with this name...), it 
might be an idea to fork the project, remove some strange things (like the custom 
strdup(), snprintf() etc. implementations), and to use glib for other things (like 
base64, maybe the hash table).

I guess this will be easier and more straightforward than replacing limesmtp 
completely, apart from the difficulties to find a library which supports /all/ 
features required by Balsa.  It's not really urgent IMHO, though, as the 
library seems to be quite solid.  The flaw I reported to the Balsa list in 
Saturday isn't really a show-stopper, but needs to be fixed when more and more 
MTA's disable TLSv1.0.  I guess there are more important things pending for 
Balsa itself...

What do you think?

Best,
Albrecht.
