Nope. I've just checked it with my own Google-Account. As i do not do
such header filtering, my qpsmtpd (which is quite old anyway, i think
its still 0.28 or something like this...) accepted the mail. Therefore
i can tell for sure that the mail which is sent by google calendar does
not contain _any_ date header.
In the example you are showing, the date header was very likely added
by _your_ system after reception of the mail. Your system accepted the
mail at second 45, and the envelope from as well as the Date-Header
(which seems to be the last header line, so it was very likely added
later) is at second 47.
So Google is in error here as they are sending mails without a Date
header. Now one can discuss if a date header is required, but at least
there is very likely no error in the filtering code.
