Short: No need for filing a bug report against Python. The application developer should just make use of the standard lib. Long: Module smtplib in Python's standard lib is pretty low-level and basic. For constructing the messages sent via smtplib one should use Python module email (also part of recent Python's standard lib, AFAIK heavily used in mailman) and the calling application should set the Date header e.g. to what's generated by email.utils.formatdate().
