Because proxymap is running as user postfix? System file permissions prevent it. mail_owner can be set to the user you want it to run as in main.cf, which would be the appropriate change, although I've not done this myself. man 5 master - discusses some of these issues. Perhaps the real question is why are you running it as a non-standard user name, to make life hard? Or did you already have a user "postfix" on your system?
