messages from the future? there's only so much future that should be
allowed... IIRC, the normal "from the future" posting is only 24
hours... anything more than that indicates a system with a bad clock or bad
software that may have a time stamp rollover problem... that or a redated
regurge...

i think you/we can check the y2k PKTDATE processor docs for more about
future dated postings...
