Y2K problem in auto-responder

2000-01-03 15:34:14

Our partners have problems to find our automatic replies 
in their mailbox because their date is "3 Jan 100".
The first Received header is:
Received: by our.host (Smail3.1.29.1 #4) id m1259at-000MZ1n; 
          Mon, 3 Jan 100 16:40 GMT+0100 

We can't replace the (old) Smail by now. We wonder, however, if
there might be a solution using a better procmail recipe which feeds
the correct date to Smail - all messages sent by pine on the
same host produce a correct (visible) date for the receiver
(in spite of the wrong Received header date).

We use the standard auto-responder recipe:

:0 h c
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: our(_at_)address
| (formail -r -I"Precedence: junk" \
              -A"X-Loop: our(_at_)address" ; \
   cat $HOME/received.msg) | $SENDMAIL -t
   
Thank you in advance.
