Hi James community,

For a customer use case, we are considering extending Apache James SASL
support with the GSSAPI mechanism, enabling Kerberos-based authentication
as specified by RFC 4752 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4752.html>.

Related Jira ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4215.

The intention would be to integrate it with James=E2=80=99s existing SASL
infrastructure and make it available to applicable protocols.

Would the community be interested in receiving and maintaining this
contribution upstream? If not, we may instead implement and maintain it in
TMail Backend.

Regards,
Quan
