Client certificates? I thought they were nonexistent for mail to MXs.

Years ago when I did some preliminary experiments to prepare for enabling
TLS support on our servers, I turned on an option for the server to
request a client certificate. (TLS clients do not send their certificates
unless asked.) This was supposed to be optional, but many clients treated
it as a demand and aborted the connection, which was not what I wanted.
(It implied you can't support password authentication and certificate
authentication on the same server.) So I would be wary of turning on the
same option on an MX!
