messages for no better reason than it didn't seem to make sense to the
self-same MTA.

What if, for example, my RTC is REALLY off?  My mailer may generate valid,
but incorrect, dates.  Should its messages be rejected?

A lot of mailers do this if its more than a few weeks off. You should also
expect a lot of mail from the year 100 to appear after Dec 31st as most
versions of the "elm" mailer out there are not very good at year 2000 maths..
