The SNI to be sent derives from a transport option. The writer of the config
has full latitude for foot-shooting. Of course, in the context of this bug we
realise that said writer has precious little help in obtaining a value which
would be in line with the discussions on exim-dev - that the value to be
compared
for certificate name-checking should be the result of any MX lookup, or the
start of any CNAME chain leading to the eventual A or AAAA.

I'll leave that issue for later.
