            Bug ID: 7585
           Summary: No rule for mails from the far future
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.4.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Rules
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: Undefined

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR:

I have an email like this: (note the dates in Received: and Date:)

Return-Path: <***>
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.1 (2015-04-28) on ##C##
X-Spam-Level: ***
X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.4 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,RCVD_IN_PBL,
        RDNS_DYNAMIC autolearn=no autolearn_force=no version=3.4.1
X-Spam-Report: 
        *  0.8 BAYES_50 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 40 to 60%
        *      [score: 0.5014]
        *  1.5 RCVD_IN_PBL RBL: Received via a relay in Spamhaus PBL
        *      [** listed in zen.spamhaus.org]
        *  1.1 RDNS_DYNAMIC Delivered to internal network by host with
        *      dynamic-looking rDNS
Delivered-To: ***@##C##
Received: from ##B## (***)
        by ##C## (Postfix) with ESMTP id ***
        for <***; Wed, 16 May 2018 16:13:40 +0200 (CEST)
Received: from ##A## (***)
   by ##B## (Postfix) with ESMPTPS id ***
   for <***>; Mon, 16 May 2033 14:56:04 +0200
Date: Mon, 16 May 2033 14:50:01 +0200

(*** denotes stuff removed for privacy, ##A/B/C## are the three server names
involved)

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: 
give this some spam points

Although this trick is a practice used quite often by spammers in my experience
(in order to force the mail being shown on the very top of the inbox), there is
no Spamassassin rule that matches this. 

The wiki documents such a rule
(https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/FH_DATE_PAST_20XX) but it seems
this rule was removed in between (probably in the aftermath of bug 5852 from
2010-01-01)
