I have been going through email caught by the BADHEADERS test and most all of the m are due to the year. I am guessing because it sais 03 instead of 2003.
I would assume this problem is due to the mail client or SPAM software not being Y2K compliant.
That is correct. Those E-mails are coming from mail clients that think that it is the year 1903, before the Internet even existed. Most old E-mail software is Y2K compliant.
According to the RFCs, any SMTP software written since October, 1989 *must* use the 4-digit year, unless there is a valid reason not to *and* the implications are understood.
