Hello,

I'm wondering about the usefulness of smtp(d)_tls_CAfile(path) when using 
opportunistic encryption in both incoming and outgoing connections. The 
TLS_README suggests that certificate and key files be left empty for 
opportunistic smtp processes, but it doesn't talk specifically about 
smtp_tls_CAfile(path).

Am I correct to infer that both smtp(d)_tls_CAfile settings only serve a 
purpose 
when you want to verify client/server certificates? If that's the case, why 
does 
the example at the bottom of TLS_README use both the CAfile settings with only 
opportunistic encryption?

Our system seems to work without any CAfile/CApath settings under opportunistic 
encryption both incoming and outgoing. Is there a performance or security 
difference between using them or not?

Sorry in advance if my shaky grasp of TLS is the problem here.

Thank you!
