what I'm wanting to do is tighten my tls verification options. My domains each use a different letsencrypt certificate.

Depending on your platform, you could do without any special Roundube configuration. With modern Linux distributions like Gentoo this works:

1. Download LE root CA cert from https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/
2. Save cert in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates (you might need to create this directory) with '.crt' name suffix. (*)
3. Run 'update-ca-certificates --fresh' as root.
4. Restart your web server.

With that, Let's Encrypt is configured as a locally trusted CA for libssl, and in the Roundube configuration only

$config['default_host'] = 'ssl://imap.horus-it.com';

is then required, if you match the host name of your certificate. This method benefits any process on your server that uses libssl.
