For an SMTP server, SNI values that don't match are not unexpected,
given that e.g. with DANE the DANE-aware clients will send the TLSA
base domain, while non-DANE clients will send the original MX hostname,
which may be different.
So while it is interesting to test failing on SNI mismatch, please DO NOT
fail handshakes on SNI mismatch in SMTP.
