TLS question: what checks are performed?

Yo!
I just set up TLS on my mailserver - now I'm curious: what checks do smtp and
smtpd perform when they receive a certificate? I know that default is to
accept everything on faith - and I don't want to change that. However, I
wonder in what circumstances a warning message is written to the log (to be
specific: what should the cn in the certificate be? The MX, or the hostname
from the reverse lookup, or just any hostname that resolves to the right IP
address?).
(Pointers to the relevant docs welcome, too).
cheers
