Hmmm....  the bit I don't understand here is that part of libESMTP's design is 
that regardless of how the library is configured it will always present the 
*same* API.  Those corresponding to the unimplemented features will always 
fail.  You will need to investigate either why smtp_starttls_set_password_cb() 
is not in the library or why balsa can't link against it.

If smtp_starttls_set_password_cb() is not present, that is a bug in libESMTP.  
Try running ``nm libesmtp.so | fgrep smtp_starttls_set_password_cb'' and check 
the output.  You can replace libesmtp.so with libesmtp.a if you linked 
statically.
