It looks like Postfix doesn't add anything to the Received header about
TLS.  I verified with Wireshark that my system is encrypting traffic on
the first hop with TLS, but there's nothing in the Received header about
it.  It would be nice if Postfix added this information to the mail
headers, but since it doesn't there doesn't seem to be any easy way to
tell whether SMTP traffic is encrypted.
