After reading RFC 3207, i found probably non documented

Most cases of using TLS and server certificates on SMTP are
not getting even certificate CN quite right.  Certificate
verification is purely black magic.
 

Yes, this could have been better documented.

Any chance that someone could get motivated to generate an I-D,

interoperable implementations to meet that particular
