Validating an SMTP server

Hi Hoggins.

I am developing an alternative TLSA tester. Viktor Dukhovni has been providing me some assistance and my tester is not fully operational yet. 

Both my tester and Viktor's tester say that your mail server smtp.hoggins.fr verifies.

However, in both cases you actually want to validate hoggins.fr (unless you want people to send email to user at smtp.hoggins.fr) Both testers also say that hoggins.fr is acceptable.

If you want to give my tester a try, you can try it at:

http://ec2.simson.net/dane_check.cgi?host=hoggins.fr

It is much more verbose than the sys4.de tester.

It gives me an error on the validator (https://dane.sys4.de/smtp/smtp.hoggins.fr <https://dane.sys4.de/smtp/smtp.hoggins.fr>), but I don't know what I need to change about that.
