It's the job of MUAs, mail applications, etc. to inject correctly
formatted mail into the email infrastructure. It's not the job of
an MTA to make arbitary content standards-compliant.

I recommend that you run ALL mail FROM this application through
the filter so that it is always MIME compliant.
Once it is MIME compliant you can configure Postfix to always ignore
8BITMIME announcements so it converts all mail to 7bit encoding.
Or you can rely on automatic conversion when an 8BITMIME compliant
MTA (such as Postfix) sends mail to a non-8BITMIME mail server.
