Probably because Squish is working as designed and other software is
generating the bad dates.  Squish logs them as "grunged date" and
doesn't forward them.  I have this issue with messages inserted into .SQDs
by Maximus offline mail doors (BlueWave and Silver Xpress).

Since my problem messages originate at my system, I use William McBrine's
ECHOFIX (not to be confused with multiple other Echofix utils that do a ton
of things besides repair grunged dates), which also includes source.  It
fixes the bad msgs within the .SQDs.  Afterwards, Squish will export them
normally.
