Hello
 
Postfix's documentation for the tls_high_cipherlist parameter states to see the output of the command 'postconf -d' to see the default setting.

Sadly, the documentation lacks specificness, and the output spit out about 500 lines, so I am not sure what I am suppose to be looking at.

postconf -d will print all the (default) settings, you can use grep to filter the specific line you're looking for.

I found the parameter mentioned on one of the lines. I was expecting to see a list of ciphers, such as AES-256 ectetera, but I don't see any mention of a type of cipher, so I'm not sure if looking at the line for the tls_high_cipherlist parameter is what I am suppose to be looking at.

postfix uses openssl, and if you had read the manual you would have seen something like:

* tls_high_cipherlist (default: see "postconf -d" output)
The OpenSSL cipherlist for "high" grade ciphers. [...]

so you should then look at your openssl configuration (which may or may not be whatever default your distribution is using).

$ man 1 ciphers

will take you further.

Could anyone confirm if that is what I am suppose to be looking at and if I am correct in what I was expecting?

Only you can know what you were expecting, and hence what you are supposed to be looking at.

Good luck.
