Sorry for nitpicking - not meant as personal offense:

Actually in my former posting I've indeed cited
http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#client_tls_policy

I've now looked more closely to this:
http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#client_tls_verify

And it seems to describe what I was looking for:

"With Postfix ≥ 2.11 the "smtp_tls_trust_anchor_file" parameter or more
typically the corresponding per-destination "tafile" attribute optionally
modifies trust chain verification. If the parameter is not empty the root CAs
in CAfile and CApath are no longer trusted. Rather, the Postfix SMTP client
will only trust certificate-chains signed by one of the trust-anchors
contained in the chosen files."

Ciao, Michael.
