Hi Keith,

I can't say that I understand spamassassin rules, but it appears to me
that you will trigger the rule, i.e., incur the penalty, if the match
succeeds? Your change means that all dates 2000 through 2099 will
match. Isn't the correct change something like (assuming regex):

	 Date =~ /20[2-9][0-9]|201[1-9]/

I believe that this will only match 2011 through 2099. Although this
will run into problems next December. Probably a better solution is to
work with a time window from "now".

	Thanks,
	doug
