Summary: archiving with invalid dates

Initial Comment:
If you look at
http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
you'll notice there are mails archived into future
archives (because of faked timestamps).
I think this should not happen, either deleting it
instead (SPAM) or archiving it into the current
archive.

Dan's right, there are knobs you can twiddle so this doesn't
happen.  Thanks Dan!

The list item clobber_date has been present in Mailman
for a very long time, to address this issue.  There's
a GUI item for it.  Have you experimented with setting
clobber_date?

Or alternatively, if you're using 2.1, see settings in
Defaults.py about dates in archives.
