Hi Keith,

One little thing about your new ABNF for DH group:

       the TLS ciphersuite of the session in which the mail was received,        in the Received field of the outgoing message.  (See Section 4.3.) Do you want to also suggest that it include the name of the DH group, if any?

I've attempted to add that attribute but please check the text:

      The ESMTPS transmission type <xref target="RFC3848"/> provides trace
      information that can indicate TLS was used when transferring mail.
      However, TLS usage by itself is not a guarantee of confidentiality or       security. The TLS cipher suite provides additional information about the       level of security made available for a connection. This defines a new       SMTP "tls" Received header additional-registered-clause that is used to       record the TLS cipher suite that was negotiated for the connection. The       value included in this additional clause SHOULD be the registered cipher       suite name (e.g., TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256) included in the TLS       cipher suite registry. In the event the implementation does not know the       name of the cipher suite (a situation that should be remedied promptly),
      a four-digit hexadecimal cipher suite identifier MAY be used.
      In addition, the Diffie-Hellman group name associated with the
      ciphersuite MAY be included (when applicable and known) following the
      ciphersuite name.   The ABNF for the field follows:
      <figure>
        <artwork type="abnf">
tls-cipher-clause  =  CFWS "tls" FWS tls-cipher [ "group" dh-group ]

Is lack of some kind of delimiter before and after "group" intentional? (FWS? Or maybe ";" before group).

tls-cipher         =  tls-cipher-name / tls-cipher-hex

tls-cipher-name    =  ALPHA *(ALPHA / DIGIT / "_")
; as registered in IANA cipher suite registry

tls-cipher-hex     =  "0x" 4HEXDIG

dh-group           = ALPHA *(ALPHA / DIGIT / "_")
; as registered in IANA TLS Supported Groups Registry
</artwork>
      </figure>
