This is ridiculous.

It is trivial to automate this by generating a header check dynamically based 
on the current UTC date, so doing this “by hand” and setting something up that 
allows an email 9 years into the future but 8 years into the future next year… 
well, that’s bordering on flagrant incompetence.

And the date check should be a lot more stringent that a year, much less a 
decade. Try a few hours.

SpamAssassin score DATE_IN_FUTURE_06_12 (hours) at 1.3, a rather hefty score. 
It doesn’t hit very often for my server.

I think what your ISP is fdoing is not just a complete waste of time, but also 
just designed to cause needless problems.
