It depends on how a Python script is controlled by a debugger.
By design, Postfix isolates progreams from the user who sends email.
That eliminates a huge number of privilege escalation exploits.
This means that Postfix does not propagate your debugging file
handles and environment variables to programs that Postfix runs.
You can configure Postfix to export environment settings to programs
that it runs. The default exports are:
main.cf:
export_environment = TZ MAIL_CONFIG LANG
You can add to this like so:
main.cf:
export_environment = TZ MAIL_CONFIG LANG foo=bar
Maybe you can modify the python code, and somehow import the remote
contrils that you need for debugging.
