Point probably is that if filter is as such

a) allow smtp to permitted mx
b) drop all smtp
c) permit rest

Then with 'payload-protocol' it works fine. With 'next-header' this
filter is trivial to by-pass, allowing sender to send email to any MX.

However for lo0 filter it indeed does not matter, as you format should be

a) permit specific thing1
b) permit specific thingN
c) drop rest

No way to bypass c), so immaterial if next-header (cheap) or
payload-protocol (expensive) is used.
