Date header spoofing

Hi, Recently noticed some emails on a user account using webmail where the spammer had faked the delivery date to 10 years in the future forcing all spam to sit at the top of his message list, is there any way to configure exim to filter such messages before delivery time to prevent this? (as i was sure email was sensitive to date/time drift?) Many thanks in advance

  Hey there! This is one of those things that falls under "I believe anything is possible" but there aren't any tools in cPanel to handle this. There likely are some custom tricks you could use inside the Exim filter system, but that work would all need to be done manually. You could also open a feature request using the link in my signature and then I can bring that up with the team during our next features meeting.

  Hi Rex While i would love to see it fall under cpanel features i would hope that exim is able to handle this with some acls etc and was hoping the cpanel community could share anything they might have to help on that front? Good idea though Thanks
