updated cipher exclude list
Due to a bug in internet.nl, some 'insufficient' and 'phase out' algorithms were enabled but not detected (https://github.com/NLnetLabs/Internet.nl/issues/477). This lead to a false positive test result of the cipher sub test. This new cipher exclude list fixes this.

# UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!
# STARTTLS how-to
This how-to is created by the Dutch Internet Standards Platform (the organization behind [internet.nl](https://internet.nl)) and is meant to provide practical information and guidance on implementing STARTTLS.

# Tips, tricks and notices for implementation
* http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/Disable-SSL-TLS-renegotiation-td96864.html#a96871
* Use the RFC 7919 defined DH groups: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/internetstandards/dhe_groups/master/ffdhe4096.pem)
## Implementing STARTTLS in Postfix
**Specifics for this setup**
* Linux Debian 10 (Buster)
* Postfix 3.4.5
* OpenSSL 1.1.1d
**Assumptions**
* Mail server is using DANE
* Software packages are already installed
