Keep in mind that I expect implementations of MTA-STS to not refresh
refresh policy caches pre-expiration in the *absence of traffic to the
destination domain.  So if any domain hosts users who in aggregate
correspond with you less often than every 3 days, MTA-STS is completely
ineffective at protecting that traffic against MiTM downgrades.

Thus, my take is that MTA-STS policies with a max_age less than ~30 days
are potentially ineffective, and perhaps not worth the bother.
