Why don't you try it and see?  Any problems should show up very quickly in the
qmail-send or qmail-smtpd logs.  Personally, I don't see it being a problem
for qmail-send -- qmail-smtpd depends on which user and group you run
qmail-smtpd as.

However, there's no security-critical data in there -- why do you want to keep
this data secret?  What problem are you trying to solve?  If you have local
users who could use this (fairly innocuous) data to subvert your system,
you've got bigger problems.
