Is it safe to assume that most MTAs will give up trying after four or
five days if a message is still undeliverable, even if it's getting a
temporary error? (The spam I referred to is dated in 2003, but I
don't want to set a date limit that old--perhaps a week or two.)
Like I said before, it's sort of safe, but you might also want to
consider rewriting the dates of the e-mails which are sort of strange
but not strange enough for you to block... that way the spam with bad
dates won't go to the top of the users e-mailprograms with a less than
perfect sorting algorithm.
(Something I'm getting a touch of right now as I've had to urgently move
to a solution where my date-rewriter is no longer available and the
mailprogram has a lousy sorting algorithm...)

I will suggest using the tests in spamassassin, DATE_IN_PAST_xx_yy. You
can set the score of one of the test high enough that mails are blocked.
