Some of this is quite confusing. What do you mean, websites? What
exactly are you testing with SA, and how do you call SA?

Do run sa-update. Now. This rule falsely *always* triggers since Jan 1,
2010. It has been fixed that same day.

INVALID_DATE is the rule triggered here, but not above. The overall
score difference of ~1.6 matches this rule's score with score set 1,
network tests enabled, Bayes disabled (or not sufficiently trained yet).
Again, how and what are you feeding SA? Any chance the ".NET one"
(whatever that is exactly) is invalidating the Date header?

The claimed version looks suspicious in the second case. Appears to be
part of a Received header, not the SA version. What generated that
output? Seems the ".NET one" severely mangles the mail or gets bad
input.
The real SA headers would be better to show anyway.
Also, is this the very same SA installation in both cases, or are both
sites using local instances?
