For use with the DANE-TA model, server certificates must have a correct name (SubjectName or SubjectAltName).
For client-side DANE there are three new smtp transport options, &%hosts_try_dane%&, &%hosts_require_dane%&
and &%dane_require_tls_ciphers%&.
-The require variant will result in failure if the target host is not DNSSEC-secured.
+The require variant will result in failure if the target host is not

DANE will only be usable if the target host has DNSSEC-secured MX, A and TLSA records.
If DANE is not usable, whether requested or not, and CA-anchored
verification evaluation is wanted, the above variables should be set appropriately.
