IMO, a "postfix validate" should actually do what is says: validate
the config. IOW, it should be 100% accurate. The utility you suggest
is simply too fragile --- it would both generate false positives and
miss real problems (f.i. for reasons related to permissions).
Also, how often do you change the map _paths_?
