As discussed above, there is no way to require on-the-wire encrpytion of mail. When the box receives an incoming email (SMTP on port 25), it offers encrpytion (STARTTLS) but cannot require that senders use it because some senders may not support STARTTLS at all and other senders may support STARTTLS but not with the latest protocols/ciphers. To give senders the best chance at making use of encryption, the box offers protocols back to SSLv3 and ciphers with key lengths as low as 112 bits. Modern clients (senders) will make use of the 256-bit ciphers and Diffie-Hellman ciphers with a 2048-bit key for forward secrecy, however. ([source](setup/mail-postfix.sh))
