I received 3 spams today, and all 3 had stale dates. The Received: headers all showed
that the e-mails originated today, but SpamCop said (erroneously) that they were over
3 days old and therefore wouldn't process them. Here's an example:
Received: from mail.astralnetwork.com by realpeople.com (CommuniGate
SMTP 3.1.4b) with ESMTP id S.3885357153nt for
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Fri, 27 Apr 2001 16:17:39 -0500

I think some clever spammers have figured out that back-dating their mail is a good
way around SpamCop. Could we ignore the claimed origin date/time and use the most
recent Received: date/time instead? Cheers,
