I think you to post the actual email somewhere where it won't be mangled by typos or whatever and then post the link for our review. We can run the message through our SpamAssassin systems to see the result.
Hold on! If you are USING the affected system, then since you replied to me directly instead of through the list, I have your message headers, and they went through my SpamAssassin, and did not trigger the INVALID_DATE rule. Your headers were: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.7 (2006-10-05) on mail.visioncomm.net X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.0 required=5.0 tests=AWL=-0.001,BAYES_50=0.001 autolearn=no version=3.1.7 X-Envelope-From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from smtp104.rog.mail.re2.yahoo.com [206.190.36.82] by mail.visioncomm.net (SMTPD32-8.15) id A057105E0080; Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:14:31 -0400 Received: (qmail 346 invoked from network); 31 Aug 2007 15:14:30 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO tlepiane) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]@99.245.199.125 with login) by smtp104.rog.mail.re2.yahoo.com with SMTP; 31 Aug 2007 15:14:30 -0000 X-YMail-OSG: XbW59_gVM1nvMY0rJi2tqABT_L2Jbu8isr.CVezWeeHCZ7R2zFUn68g5txp0maaAFg-- From: "Tony Le Piane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Dan Barker'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Invalid Date header - Date not RFC 2822 Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:14:28 -0400 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 11 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3138 Thread-Index: Acfr26RJaVTTLagcRu6TVtg75WdrTgAAMOFgAAECJXAAADKc8A== In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-IMail-Queuename:<3057105e00803aca> X-RCPT-TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Status: U X-UIDL: 488427562 and the Date: header is correct and the rule did not fire. The trick now is to get the reporting server's copy of the headers and make them fix their issue - assuming they actually do have an invalid date. Good luck with that!

Also looked at RFC 2822 and we comply. As mentioned we been running this services for over 5 years and no all of a sudden we get classified as spam. I don't get it. Really appreciate your reply.

You could look up RFC 2822 (unless that's too much work) or just look at the date (and compare it to incoming date records from other SMTP servers). You'll see the trailing two zeros are missing (assuming you are in the Eastern Time Zone). hth Dan -----Original Message----- From: Tony Le Piane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2007 10:54 AM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Invalid Date header - Date not RFC 2822 > We have been running our service for almost 5 years and this problem started > with this ISP client of yours (TELEBEC) last week after they upgraded their > servers to the latest version of SPAMASSASSIN I'm told.
