On our W2K SP4 mail server, running Exch 5.5, with W2K, 98 & 95 clients using Outlook Exp:

Every few weeks, the year on the server date is reset to 2020. I suspect this is a spammer trying to get his messages to the top of the inbox.

There's probably a port I haven't closed off, but I'm not sure where to look since I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, and I'm not familiar with the technique (if it's really a spammer).

If anyone knows what this guy is doing, could you point me in the right direction to put a stop to it? Thanks!
