mail command formation might get complex with multipart attachments and so
on.

For now I have just identified and added local senders with privilege to
generate mail to protected destinations. (Actually a program that
generates those lists adds these by default.)

Not a clean solution.

There must be some sendmail options that make CLI and python library do
different things. Would be trying to figure out. I think comparing mail
headers in both cases might help.
