I have the following two settings in my "10-ssl.conf" file

I have seen different configurations while Googling. I am wondering
what the consensus is for the best settings for these two items. What
do the developers recommend?

Not a developer, but I use the settings from https://cipherli.st, 
namely:

        ssl = yes
        ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot.cert
        ssl_key = </etc/dovecot.key
        ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3
        ssl_cipher_list = AES128+EECDH:AES128+EDH
        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes # >Dovecot 2.2.6
        ssl_dh_parameters_length = 4096 # >Dovecot 2.2


Thanks!
