I just upgraded from F26 to F28. The balsa email client is not able
to send mail through my server because it doesn't try to authenticate.
This is probably because it doesn't STARTTLS, likely because of
incompatibility between libesmtp (which balsa uses to send mail) and
openssl 1.1, which results in libesmtp building without ssl support.
Supposedly this is fixed in Rawhide, but not in F28. I have hacked
the libesmtp rpm to use compat-openssl10 and now have balsa working --
patch in bug 1483350 below.
I also rebuilt balsa with my patches to make the Queue toolbar button
not send immediately and to allow self-signed certificates so I can
use my mail server.
Since these issues existed in F26, I expect that there are no other
balsa users left, and this is just informational.
See closed Bug 1479177 - since upgrade balsa is no longer able to send
emails

required
