SpamAssassin's Y2K10 -- Whoops, We Did It Again

"If you're running SpamAssassin, you should make sure that you update it forthwith, to avoid a 2010 bug problem. Specifically, the rule

FH_DATE_PAST_20XX

"(which is intended to look for dates grossly in the future) matches on any year between 2010 and 2099. Obviously 2010 is a ridiculous far-future date. (Where is my flying car?) However, since we have, bizarrely, made it this far into the future, this rule will catch perfectly legitimately dated mail."
