I get some email with unusual date formats, eg:
Date: Wed Mar 21 07:23:08 AST 2001
I'd like to set up a procmail recipe that spots this, and rewrites
the Date field.

Use GNU date; get it if you don't have it. It's pretty tolerant of
offbeat date formats, and does indeed handle the one you gave.

Looked good, but I'm wondering about the premise for this in the
first place. Frankly, illegal date formats are one highly successful
major indicator of spam in my recipe set. I don't recall ever seeing
a false positive. (I get 15-30 spams a day and snag 97% of them,
with very few false positives.)
