I dont use the 4096 also, but its there if i need it when i need it,
and yes a daily script for the dh is good to have.

some "to old" tls clients wil fail with postfix. I dont know if the use DHE. 
and its NOT a postfix error. 

what happens is, why client-server are changing keys, the client closes the 
connection.
and a message appears in your log, server closed connection and no mail is 
recieved. 
old windows exchange servers and some lotus notes server have this problem, 
maybe more, i dont know that. 

for these the only workaround, as far i know is, dont show the STARTTLS. 
info here :  
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_discard_ehlo_keyword_address_maps 
## used to disable buggy clients of with fautly TLS/SSL clients
1.2.3.4         STARTTLS 

which means.. 
Dont show STARTTLS for that ip.

add in main.cf : in smtpd_client_restrictions, just after permit_mynetworks: 

smtpd_discard_ehlo_keyword_address_maps = 
cidr:/etc/postfix/smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords_address.cidr 

maybe there are better solutions for this, but this works for me.
