Hi,
We currently have a message in future on top of
https://list.orgmode.org/
The message is
https://list.orgmode.org/ZT2vNKsf3Lp5xit3@protected.localdomain/raw, and
it does not contain the future dates in headers. Just in the body.
Are we observing public inbox bug?

Sorry for that. It was not intentional. It happened during the
exercises.
I went to future, and wrote from there. ☺️
Now it is pending until the future time stamp.
Similarly, I have made mess with Dino XMPP messenger as well, I have
sent message from future, now that message will appear to me for years
as the last message sent, no matter what I do, that message remains
pending!
Why did mailing list accept message from far future? It should not be
so, that is bug to be reported.
Dino messenger accepted message from far future, that is bug, and I
have reported it:

there's an old internet adage to help achieve interoperability
(attributed to the late Jon Postel): be liberal in what you accept, and
conservative in what you send.
so, i wouldn't blame mail services for accepting mail with odd dates.
but, i would question MUAs (like mh-e, mutt, etc., i guess) that allow
one to send e-mail with odd dates. (i mean, i guess if the person
stands on their head and swears up and down that they mean to do it,
... :)
cheers, Greg

`mutt' is program that receives date from system date. Nothing wrong
with it alone.
You cannot blame computer program for doing what is
instructed. Programs know the time we gave to them.
A server for mailing list is much more important program than single
MUA.
Mailing list solves communication of many people.
Such computer is always online and can easily synchronize time with
Internet servers.
In my opinion central computer that manages mailing lists should
recogniz if time of users is far in future and handle it
appropriately.
Maybe re-writing time with explanation in e-mail header would be more
appropriate.

maybe something like that. though, this seems more an issue for
"mailing list management" mailing lists than for org-mode itself.
(maybe send them such a message, from the future? :)

At the epoch of livejournal some users intentionally assign some date in
the the future to pin posts at the top of their blogs.

See the "Date" header

Earlier I have seen spam messages from the future. I think, it just was
easier to take time from the Date header. Parsing of "Received" headers
is more complicated and it is necessary to configure which one can be
trusted. Sender may add some fake "Received" headers as well. Moreover
it is necessary to ensure that time is correct on the trusted server.
(It must be done anyway, incorrect time may lead to failure of TLS
handshake before message transfer.)
I am not convinced that mail list must drop messages with future date.
Public inbox may have some feature like override map Message-ID ->
correct date or parsing "Received" headers. The latter may increase
server load during mail processing.

Look again at its date header:
$ curl -fSsL https://list.orgmode.org/ZT2vNKsf3Lp5xit3@protected.localdomain/raw | \
grep Date:
Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2023 04:02:44 +0300

I'm not sure what's intended here. There are spots in public-inbox that
favor a date from Received headers. I've sent a message to
public-inbox's list:
