Learing by copy & paste. I copied from yesterdays (?) thread on DANE and your
instruction:

    Well, you're unlikely to have working TLSA RRs for your SMTP service
    just by happenstance.  If you want to create a TLSA RRset for your
    SMTP server, run the attached "tlsagen" shell script as follows:

        $ tlsagen cert.pem $(uname -n) DANE-EE PKEY SHA2-256
        _25._tcp.mail.example.com IN TLSA 3 1 1 {hex string}


I did:

tlsagen mail.state-of-mind.de.pem mail.state-of-mind.de DANE-EE CERT SHA2-256
_25._tcp.mail.state-of-mind.de. IN TLSA 0 0 1 
4CCFD929E7C2646022AD1A80F66B29C2F37C14D95245C0624490B90074A014A7

Hmmm, looking at this DANE-EE seems to be the right option to specify usage
'3'. Could it be there's something wrong with your script?

Yes, sadly.
