There is currently no way to do that because there never was a need for
it.

The reason is that this situation does not match the TLS/SSL certificate
trust model. If the certificate issuer is not known and you do not trust
him, how can you trust a certificate he issued?

Nevertheless, one could add a 'tls_fingerprint' command that makes msmtp
trust one particular certificate, as an alternative to 'tls_trust_file'.
I guess this is how you tell other software packages to trust the
certificate, right?
