Hmmm... I see your point and from a paranoid security point of view the
file should be not world-readable. But keep in mind that from a paranoid
point of view even the output of commands like ps(1), df(1), etc are a
problem, of course.
OTOH this is a general issue and not really Postfix related. So we
should raise the general question whether logfiles in OpenPKG should be
world-readable or not? What are the opinions?
