Recommended reading for AMSL:

Postfix 2.11.0 has been released.  If they are in a position to
build their own package, they should consider going with that.
Otherwise, they can upgrade at a later date, when their O/S vendor
makes an updated package available.

With 2.11 they get TLS session ticket support in the Postfix
SMTP server and DANE support in the Postfix SMTP client.

Best-practice configuration:

Postfix configured for opportunistic TLS or opportunistic DANE TLS
if >= 2.11.0:

    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
        # Server TLS
        smtpd_tls_security_level = may
        smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
        smtpd_tls_cert_file = ${config_directory}/smtpd-chain.pem
        smtpd_tls_key_file = ${config_directory}/smtpd-key.pem
        smtpd_tls_dh1024_param_file ${config_directory}/dh2048.pem
        smtpd_tls_dh512_param_file ${config_directory}/dh512.pem

        # Client TLS: Postfix < 2.11
        smtp_tls_security_level = may
        smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
        # In most cases do not configure a client certificate
        smtp_tls_cert_file = 
        smtp_tls_key_file =

        # Client TLS additions/changes for Postfix >= 2.11
        smtp_dns_support_level = dnssec
        smtp_tls_security_level = dane

For DANE security, a DNSSEC-validating recursive resolver is required
on the MTA machine, as the sole entry in:

  /etc/resolv.conf:
        domain amsl.com
        nameserver 127.0.0.1
