From postfix logs the difference between both scenarios is: the mails
generated by mail command are picked up by the `pickup' daemon while those
sent using python library are picked up directly by smtpd.

Via pickup route protected destination checks don't get applied while on
smtpd they do.

Wondering how to get python app follow the pickup route.
