The existing `email.smtp_host` config option is used for two distinct purposes: it is resolved into the IP address to connect to, and used to (request via SNI and) validate the server's certificate if TLS is enabled. This new option allows specifying a different name for the second purpose. This is especially helpful, if `email.smtp_host` isn't a global FQDN, but something that resolves only locally (e.g. "localhost" to connect through the loopback interface, or some other internally routed name), that one cannot get a valid certificate for. Alternatives would of course be to specify a global FQDN as `email.smtp_host`, or to disable TLS entirely, both of which might be undesirable, depending on the SMTP server configuration. |
