That applies only to messages which are deemed to be spam. But "Spam
Actions" can also, of course, be a ruleset, so you can have different Spam
Actions for different users/domains.

This just strips HTML from messages containing IFrame or Object Codebase
tags. With a ruleset you can set who gets "dangerous" HTML and who doesn't.

This strips HTML from all messages. Again this can be a ruleset, so you can
strip all HTML from messages delivered to/from some users/domains and not
others.

In which case hopefully the porn html will be identified as spam. If that
is true, then you can use the "deliver striphtml" spam action.
If not, then you could allow outgoing HTML but ban incoming HTML by using
"Convert HTML to text" with a ruleset that looks like this:
From:   yourdomain.com  no
FromOrTo:       default         yes

Unfortunately, the reason there are so many different combinations here is
because people wanted them all
:-)
