Server :: Sendmail As A Client Always Verifies Certificates Even With TLSSrv_options Set To V

My sendmail server makes use of the TLS_SRV_OPTIONS which is set to `V' meaning it shouldn't verify certificates. As a server, it doesn't and the {verify} macro shows "NOT" in the logs, showing that no certificate request was sent out.

Acting as a client though, and I'm talking both about the server acting as a client towards other mail servers and about the local mail submission agent, it always verifies certificates. My mail submission agent when contacting my own mail server verifies the mail servers' certificate and still, the mail server has not initiated any exchanging of certificates since it still says "verify=NOT" in the logs (whereas the same entry for the submission agent reads OK or FAIL depending on what I use).

So, does mail servers ALWAYS send out its certificates and when they do, the "client" in question (no matter if it's the mail server acting as client or the mail submission agent) validates it because the TLS_SRV_OPTIONS setting just applies to when it's running as a server, or is there a setting to tell Sendmail not to send out certificates since you're not in the business of certificate verification relaying anyways?
