This is ridiculous.
It is trivial to automate this by generating a header check dynamically based
on the current UTC date, so doing this “by hand” and setting something up that
allows an email 9 years into the future but 8 years into the future next year…
well, that’s bordering on flagrant incompetence.
And the date check should be a lot more stringent that a year, much less a
decade. Try a few hours.
SpamAssassin score DATE_IN_FUTURE_06_12 (hours) at 1.3, a rather hefty score.
It doesn’t hit very often for my server.
I think what your ISP is fdoing is not just a complete waste of time, but also
just designed to cause needless problems.
