The great thing is that, unlike Apache or Dovecot, the mapping of domain to certificate is dynamic, not in a static list. For shared hosting environments, where each machine/VPS can serve tens of thousands of individual domains, this is a boon.

What's even more beautiful is using a single MX hostname for a boatload
of domains, with a single associated certificate. Works great for
domeneshop.no (serving over 100k DANE-enabled SMTP domains via 4 MX
hosts), and transip.nl (serving a similar number of domains), ...

I am somewhat sympathetic to the desire for SNI on port 587, where
asking users to change settings is a bear, with port 25 SMTP, I've
yet to see a compelling reason for server-side SNI support. Do not
go there, unless your back's against the wall...
