Hi,
my SPAM catcher barks at the following `Date' line. Anything wrong with
that?

Here's the procmail recipe which is supposed to nuke mail with an invalid date.
# Verify RFC822-compliant Date: line

Yes, the Date is invalid. There is no such time zone as "+-500".
This should be fixed in Pterodactyl Gnus 0.24.
