As a matter of principle, it is a bad idea to have symlinks under
/etc/postfix that go elsewhere. Such symlinks are a security hole
if they involve a directory or file that is owned or writable by a
non-root user.
This particular file is not sensitive, but most files under
/etc/postfix are definitely sensitive because they may be opened
while a Postfix process runs as root.
