As far as I know all email clients work like this. They use any private
key available for decryption.

Strictly speaking there is no RFC yet (I think) that defines what a
domain certificate should look like. There should therefore be some way
to differentiate a domain certificate from a non-domain certificate.
Right now only the sender specifies which certificate the receiver is
using as a domain certificate. With the strict mode, the receiver should
also specify which certificate is used as a domain certificate.

Kind regards,
