  My guess is, that comment referred to the clients that will be reading
the email, not the email server that will be scanning it.  In other words,
"this is the minimum set of filter rules that you need to run if you have
end users running Windows-based email clients".  As an example, the check
for suspicious characters in headers was included specifically because of
a security hole in Outlook.
