Live Messenger Invitation with forged Received header?

2006-09-03 Thread Andreas Pettersson
I need some help with understanding why some of the below rules 
triggered on these headers..



Received: from baym-sm1.msgr.hotmail.com ([207.46.1.190])
   by mail.mydomain.com with esmtp
   (envelope-from [EMAIL PROTECTED])
   id 1GJcP7-00063q-JH

   2.2 INVALID_DATE   Invalid Date: header (not RFC 2822)
   0.8 DATE_IN_PAST_06_12 Date: is 6 to 12 hours before Received: date
   2.3 FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVDForged hotmail.com 'Received:' header found
   0.3 MIME_BOUND_NEXTPARTSpam tool pattern in MIME boundary


Why does SA 3.1.3 think that the hotmail.com Received header is forged? 
As far as I can see it seems alright..
Pacific Daylight Time is perhaps not the right way to describe the 
timezone, or is it?

And Spam tool pattern in MIME boundary, what's that by the way?


Regards,
Andreas

It is not. And the bad date format is usually a very good spamsign.
Someboty ought to beat them about the virtual head and shoulders to
get it fixed. Of course, if they don't care about the issue why should
we care about them?

A MINE boundary declaration that is in a format that is typically
spam. Maybe the used a spam engine to send their invitations?
