I've observed that some spam has incorrect dates and times in the headers.
(Much of it is, after all, generated in an "artificial" manner, which lends
itself to mistakes.)  My guess is that's what you're seeing.  When I get
spam like this, and I'm sure it's fresh, I generally make a correction in
the date/time fields so SC will take it.
