BTW, your library can still work with Emacs-26 (and even Emacs-25) using a hack like: (unless (cl-generic-p 'smtpmail-try-auth-method) (let ((f (symbol-function 'smtpmail-try-auth-method))) (fset 'smtpmail-try-auth-method nil) (cl-generic-define-method 'smtpmail-try-auth-method nil '(process mech user password) nil f))) which turns the "regular function" smtpmail-try-auth-method into a "generic function".
