No, because proxymap is an internal protocol, and Postfix supports
only programs that use the external protocols (SMTP, UNIX mailbox,
maildir, $home/.forward, and lookup tables).
You can safely use socketmap: and tcp: Postfix map types if you
need to talk to a different program.
There was an incompatible internal protocol change in Postfix 3.7.
This would definitely break all programs that look under the Postfix
hood, but has no impact on programs that use only supported methods.
