Date is not parsed

Hi,

i've got some spam-mails, where spamcop says, that there is no date, but that's not true. Look at this:

Return-Path: <y>

Delivered-To: GMX delivery to x

Received: (qmail 2769 invoked by uid 0); 25 Oct 2011 04:55:32 -0000

Is this an unknown date-format?

The date format isn't the problem, it seems the parser is looking for a date in a trusted "Received: from ... by" header and not finding any (some headers, including "Date:" are all too easily forged). Looks to me as if the gmx.net server is not providing full headers in that example.

When I fake a date in there, like

it parses just fine (non-mailhosted account), seeming to support those proposals. Well, it doesn't complete because there's no spam body but it parses the date without a problem.

Moved to "SC reporting help" forum herewith.

It could be another mailhosting date error thing - I'm not sure since you provide no parsing example (Tracking URL). There have been one or two of those in the past, like
