Hi
I am working on a Postfix server which accepts email for the domain
it's
authoritative for (e.g. mydomain.com) and then duplicates each email
to a
configurable list of other domains, i.e. an email to
al...@mydomain.com is
forwarded onto al...@anotherdomain.com and al...@whatdomain.com.
Easily configured as described in Postfix itself without additional
software. If the list of inbound to outbound mappings is large, you
might want to do it with an external DB such as MySQL.
This server is being used for the demonstration of our own email
security
systems, where different sales people can get a steady flow of email
to
populate their own email inboxes.
So far I have successfully built a Postfix server, configured it to
accept
mail and then I have a Python script which runs for each email
received and
enumerates through each domain I want to send to. So far, an initial
prototype shows it is working. However, I want to now add a lot more
logging and have the domain configuration come from a database.
Ideally I want to be writing the Python in VSCode and running Postfix
in a
debug environment where I can step through code and develop quickly.
What interface to Postfix are you using? Postfix has multiple ways it
can connect to external software. However, none of them provide any
sort of debug facility to step through running external code. Postfix is
not a development environment. Postfix doesn't know anything about
Python.
Postfix DOES have extensive built-in support for distributing mail in
very versatile ways. What you have described would not seem to demand
additional new software.
I've tried searching, but I cannot find a way to debug Python scripts
running in Postfix.
And you never will. Python scripts DO NOT "run in Postfix" at all. It
has various interfaces for external tools: Milter, policy daemon, SMTP
proxy, content_filter and delivery via pipe are the main ones. It does
not have any capacity to debug those external programs, as it does not
control their execution environments.
I don't like the idea of writing out a lot of logging
lines, that's a slow way to develop the code.
Welcome to the development of mail software. You will do a lot of
logging.
