Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] ETA for SPAMHEADERS glitch

Just to let everyone know, we have identified the issue with the 
SPAMHEADERS test.  As most people realized, most E-mails sent with a date 
involving a year after 2004 were failing the SPAMHEADERS test.

For those that are interested in the details, if the SPAMHEADERS code 
matches the bitmask 0x40000800, it means that an invalid year was detected 
for the SPAMHEADERS test.  Normally, a code such as 0x40000802 would be 
seen, but others such as 0xC0001802 could also be seen.  And I feel that it 
is only fair for me to point out that this glitch was in code that I wrote 
(several years ago, actually).

We expect to have a v1.82 ready by tomorrow morning that takes care of this 
issue.

Part of the reason for the delay (aside from it first being reported on a 
holiday during a weekend) was that the fix involves changing old source 
code, which is something that has never been done with Declude before.  In 
the past, when issues such as this were detected, a change would be made to 
the latest code (v2.0b in this case).  However, management made the 
decision that it would be in the best interest for everyone to make the 
change to the 1.81 as well, which requires a more complicated procedure for 
implementing the change.
