Hi,

I received an email with a date header like this:

Date: 27 Aug 09 13:50:20 0100

That header triggered the following rule:

1.7 INVALID_DATE           Invalid Date: header (not RFC 2822)

That's fair enough, but then a second rule was incorrectly triggered:

2.3 DATE_IN_PAST_96_XX     Date: is 96 hours or more before Received: date

Although the date header was badly formatted, it wasn't actually incorrect as far as when the message was sent. I don't think the DATE_IN_PAST rules should fire if the date isn't valid in the first place...
