Richard,

You are, of course, absolutely right that one should avoid reusing one
of the default rules with another algorithm.

It is just that testing messages with dates in the future is useful for
scoring. Setting the FH_DATE_PAST_20XX rule with a score of 0 is only a
partial solution. Hence, I created a new rule based on the
above-mentioned post.

Kind regards,
