The documentation states that 'These tables are searched while mail is being 
delivered'. As the Postfix SMTP client is responsible for delivering mail to 
the specified forwarding target, why would these be skipped if the message has 
passed through a content filter? All the content filter does is reinsert a 
modified message into the queue, does it not?

As I read it, 'smtp_header_checks' provides a way to do header checks only on 
messages that are leaving the system, leaving local delivery unaffected?
