certificate

I want to reject all connections that don't present a valid SSL/TLS certificate. First of all is the access db file the correct one to be changing?

I have already tried using the basic rule given in the documentation

CertIssuer:/C=US/ST=California/O=endmail.org/OU=private/CN= Darth+20Mail+20+28Cert+29/[email protected] RELAY

This will obviously need a rule afterward to filter and reject all that don't present the cert? Does anyone have any pointers as to what syntax I should use? wildcards?
