Sorry for off-topic

I run my own Postfix+Dovecot stack and for an added layer of security, I enabled client cert verification for all MUA ports(submission and imap) so that bots don't even have a chance at establishing a TLS session.

The downside of this would be lack of client support. I'd love to use but unfortunately git-send-email cannot be configured to present a client cert to the server. I just learned that git-send-email is only a single 2k-line perl script, so I could submit the patch if anyone's interested. Just a few lines for the script to pass the PEM paths to the openssl lib.
