The SpamAssassin Wiki FH_DATE_PAST_20XX page doesn't have discussion, but it was updated today with a different date rule."

I love helpful responses from idiots that start with "first, edit the /etc/spamassassin.conf file"
Yes. That's easy! First edit the /etc/spamassassin.conf file!
Wait a sec...

I just fixed a mail server for someone (after reading the article), and told them to remind me in 10 years to fix it again. :) Hopefully by then, they'll have rewritten the rule so it behaves better.

Thanks for the heads-up. There was a very important e-mail from the Internet Lottery people telling me my e-mail address had been picked as the winner of the EUR 20,000 prize. All I have to do is send them $200 by Western Union to cover the processing fees. And to think I almost missed it!
It's terrible that SpamAssassin flags such important messages as spam.
