/etc/postfix -> 755

main-configuration which usually do not contain configuration
should have 644 because "sendmail" is running as the user who
starts it

this is exactly the reason for proxy maps (beside better
connection handling)

sensible configuration files containing passwords needs
only postfix-group-permissions and are not readable by
other users while "sendmail" is talking to proxymap
process and so have access to the full configuration
