It is a step in the right direction, though testing should ultimately
be much more comprehensive.

	* Test that "expired" certificates are accepted with DANE-EE(3)

	* Test that matching hostnames are not required with DANE-EE(3)

	* Test multiple DANE-EE(3) SPKI(1) SHA2-256(1) records with
	  just one matching the chain.

	* Probe for digest agility support, test a working SHA2-512(2)
	  a non-working SHA2-256(1) and vice versa.

	* Test DANE-TA(2) support with TA certificate in the server chain

	* Test DANE-TA(2) with wildcard leaf certificate.

	* Test DANE-TA(2) with expired leaf certificates, or non-matching
	  DNS-ID.

	* Test optional DANE-TA(2) SPKI(1) Full(0) support with the trust
	  anchor public key in DNS and the full certificate NOT provided
          in the chain (Postfix supports this, other MTAs might not.  Per
	  RFC7671 support this corner case is optional, and servers MUST
	  include the trust anchor CA certificate in their chain.

	* Test support for a combination of a DANE-TA(2) and a DANE-EE(3)

	  (both cases).

	* Test TLSA record lookup failures (broken RRsig, broken denial of
	  existence, ...)

	* Test DNSSEC-signed domains with MX hostnames in an unsigned zone.
	  Their TLSA records should not be looked up (delegate "_tcp" to
          non-responding and perhaps query-logging servers, sender should
	  not be delayed by trying to look these up).

	...

If you want to check that your Postfix is doing DANE minimally correctly
per this site, just try:

$ myemail=...
$ sendmail -bv -f $myemail probe-rcpt at wrong.havedane.net
$ sendmail -bv -f $myemail probe-rcpt at do.havedane.net
$ sendmail -bv -f $myemail probe-rcpt at dont.havedane.net

Then check your logs.  You should see something along the lines of:
