I also agree that current MTAs' implementations of STARTTLS are only a first step. At least in postfix, the only MTA with which I am sufficiently familiar to form an opinion, it appears impossible to require that certs presented by trusted parties match a particular hash while certs presented by untrusted MTAs can present any certificate they desire to achieve EDH-level security.

This is probably a stupid question, but... why would you want to do this?
