Yes, but when postfix was designed with security in mind, it may
intentionally not support things like this one.
As an aside the contents of my /etc/postfix directory are owned by root
so I assume Postfix needs root priveledges to access them.
They can use group/others privileges to access files/directories.
I believe daemons/services should generally not be able to modify their own
configuration files. They need to read them, so usually /etc/postfix has
files writable by root/admin, readable by postfix and everything writable by
postfix should be in /var/lib/postfix.
Logs in /var/log/ should be written by syslog daemon, postfix should not be
able to modify them.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
