Interesting info about DANE.

For information - the TLS SNI value comes directly from my configuration. I
didn't set it deliberately, but in the default config, smarthost_smtp has
tls_sni = ROUTER_SMARTHOST, the macro also used in the smarthost route_data. So
in my config they are the same.

I accept that my DNS set-up is not all that common in the context of SMTP. Not
least because if it was MX driven, then CNAMEs would not work. It's only
because it's a smart host and therefore a "normal" host name that this issue
arises.

Perhaps the default config smarthost router should have an option making the
CNAME behaviour configurable?
