Concerning outbound email to a specific domain that i need encrypted, i
use smtp_tls_policy_maps.  I would like some level of verification that
the remote server IS the server I think it is.  I see the
smtp_tls_security_level as encrypt, fingerprint, verify or secure.  What
would be the best overall solution.

If I do the fingerprint, do i MD5sum their public or private key?
