I used smtpd_tls_CApath, which I believe does the same thing. These
were my notes on it:

# http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html
# http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_tls_CApath
# Specify dir where trusted CA files live, then run c_rehash.
# included CAcert class 1, class 3, and Thawte free personal cert.
smtpd_tls_CApath = /etc/postfix/CAdir

> ls CAdir/
5ed36f99.0 class1cacet.pem e5662767.0
709afd2b.0 class3cacert.pem thawte_personal.pem

So, I think Outlook just doesn't support it. The personal certs from
CAcert support about everything, and mine includes code signing, too.
Strangely, while Opera support tls client auth, it doesn't support
S/MIME.
