It's because your newsreader doesn't send a Date: header in the NNTP
POST command:

and the Lyris server is too braindead to add a valid one. When you
later come to read your article, your client tells you a random date.
(My client tends to tell me midnight on about the right day: less
random.)
I used to connect to news.palmos.com via a Perl script which converted
POST commands into email to <group>@news.palmos.com and worked around
other Lyris bugs (the LISTGROUP command is broken). Now I've hacked my
newsreader to add a Date: header itself and configured it to use
LISTGROUP in the limited way that Lyris understands, and I don't need
the script anymore.
I can send you the script if you want.
