Well - then the smtp(8) manpage and "postfix -n" could need fixing for
the next 2.5.X and 2.4.Y releases to remove this confusion, as the
former (as of 2.5.1, I didn't check 2.4.X) states:

|  Available in Postfix version 2.4 and later:
|
|  smtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options ($smtp_sasl_tls_security_options)
|
|  The SASL authentication security options that the Postfix SMTP
|  client uses for TLS encrypted SMTP sessions with a verified server
|  certificate.

And postconf -n shows that Postfix has accepted this option - it might
want to log/print a warning instead...

Both facts together made me believe the feature made it into 2.5.


Please correct me if I'm wrong, I think I'm safe using
smtp_sasl_tls_security_options instead with smtp_tls_security_level and
the corresponding legacy options empty (unset) - except for a few listed
sites that require "secure" level (per smtp_tls_policy_maps) - so I'll
only ever have TLS if it's verified given my smtp_tls_policy_maps shown
earlier (all lines are "[blah.example.org]:25   secure match=nexthop").

Thanks & best regards
