As I said, I can guarantee messages from the future are wrong.  Disagree?

Perhaps messages from more than a day (or N days) in the past could be
bounced saying:
"Either your system clock is wrong or your message was unreasonably
delayed.  Either fix your clock, or make sure your message is still
current and send it again."
Alternately, the message could be held for approval or date fixing, and
you could set that user as "Date Impaired" so that all messages from that
individual get fixed - if they're off.

This seems a reasonable approach, given a configurable delivery delay tolerance. One could also cross-check References headers against messages already received, to set a lower limit on the time stamp. If a message claims to have been sent prior to one it references (modulo some tolerance), then it can be bounced/modified/moderated.
