Hello, 

if I get new mail via exim or fetchmail I filter it to 
the right mailboxes (for each Mailinglist and Month). 

Now I have the Problem, that Every month I get some 
dozen mails from broken systems, exactly, systems with 
broken hwclock's... 

So I have mailboxes from 1970 to 2028 :-/

Because I use the same time a Database it get confused 
by this Dates. 

Now if I look in the Headers, the first is in most cases 
wrong if they use the own MTA and if they use a external, 
e.g., with netscape, right because the ISP's update there 
Servers with ntp. 

How can I solve this problem ? 

Does anyone know, how to rewrite the Date-Header if it is 
wrong ? 

Note:   I have my own ntp-Server at home which is updated 
        each 180 Minutes using a DCF-77 receiver. 

I think, the most Linux-Users use ntp to correct the time, 
but more then 90% of errors are from Windows-Machines...

I use Tardis to update the time on my two Windows-Machines. 

Thanks in advance
Michelle
