while not directly related to your question, I have an experience which
touches this topic. Not long ago, I have decided I will require TLS on
my private postfix server, so I have set:

smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt

I expected that 99% of all servers supports TLS anyway (and I was
willing to risk the 1%). How surprised was I when my server refused
emails from Paypal, because Paypal does not (want to?) use TLS. I had to
revert back to "may".
