To clarify, this is what we use on relay servers that do not have any local processes besides Postfix that need access. On servers where this is needed, such as for the use of 'sendmail', the '/etc/postfix' directory is kept world readable, as are the .cf files. Everything that isn't part of the default config, such as map files, is kept inside a subdirectory inside '/etc/postfix', which has the limited permissions. That way the permissions on the files themselves are not as critical. Cya, Jona

However, if a table is searched through the proxymap daemon, then its file will be opened after the proxymap daemon has dropped root privileges, so "postfix" (group) permission would be needed.

Ok, thanks, I'll stick with this for a while and see what happens. It
seems sendmail needs to read main.cf, but not any of the map files (at
least, not the ones I'm using in the way I'm using them) or master.cf.
We've only got two boxes that have anything sensitive in the maps; on
the one with the mail store, I have just:
/etc/postfix:
cp -R etc/postfix /etc/
chgrp -R postfix /etc/postfix
find /etc/postfix -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
find /etc/postfix -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 640
chmod 644 /etc/postfix/main.cf
which is close to what you posted, modulo master.cf and 'rx' of the maps
directory.
On the MX, I also need to make one of the map files readable to the
amavis user, but there's nothing sensitive in that map, so 644 is fine
there.
I'll report if anything else breaks =)

Minimal permissions on /etc/postfix
We store our virtual_foo_maps in, /etc/posfix/maps/virtual_foo_maps.pgsql and so the (read-only) database credentials are visible in that file. I'd like to tighten this up if possible, but I don't want to do anything stupid. If I'm not going about this all wrong, what can I do to prevent e.g. SSH users from reading the DB credentials? Ideally, I'd also like to prevent them from reading the rest of the maps, which contain lists of addresses, clients, etc.
