Hi,

that Gmail enabled SNI on their SMTP client is an indicator that using SNI may 
not cause relevant trouble.
But it's also known, Gmail is able to do such stuff very selective to prevent 
damage.

In theory, an SMTP client, postfix smtp for example, could always try to 
connect to a remote destination
using SNI, log success or failure and fallback to reconnect without SNI.
That would enable users to gather their own statistics.

reading http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_tls_servername give me the 
impression one
could set "smtp_tls_servername = hostname". That would force the SMTP client to 
always send SNI.

The admin can monitor the log for additional delivery failures and gather 
statistics.
Right?

Andreas
