[GitHub] [incubator-ponymail-foal] sebbASF opened a new issue #157: Code should not rely on Date: header to file messages
sebbASF opened a new issue #157:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-ponymail-foal/issues/157
The design currently trusts the Date: header to provide an accurate date.
This is not advisable, especially for earlier emails, as user devices regularly had bad clocks or wildly incorrect TZ offsets.
Also for messages that are subject to moderation, even an accurate Date header can result in the message being filed in a different month from when it was first seen on the mailing list.
It would be better to file messages using the time at which they arrived or to use times gleaned from the headers.
The Date: header should also be stored in raw form.
At the very least, the code should detect and report dates that are obviously wrong.

There are currently about 50 obviously future-dated emails in the lists.apache.org database; there may be many more with inaccurate dates
