"Date:" header handling

Hi,

I migrated a very lage list from an old hosting where I had installed a very old 2 10 0 and now I'm using a brand new 2 10 15

With this large list, I noticed that when I send a message, de "Date:" field gets fixed at the start of the run, so that the message that gets sent a couple of hours later has it's "Date:" somehow well in the past

IIRC, 2 10 0 didn't do this (or is/was it a configuration setting?)

I see two pros and two cons to this approach: pros) 1) You can "fix" the message and re-use the same copy again and again for a slight performance increase (this is in fact not valid if you change the "To:" address in each message) 2) You know to which message you are referring to if you speak about the message sent at 8:37 AM yesterday, for instance

cons) 1) If the receiver has its INBOX organized by date sent (as is my case) he may miss a recently arrived message 'cause it's "below" a few already read messages 2) After a couple of hours or more, some antispam engines start acting suspiciously on the messages (e g stock SpamAssassin will add somewhere between 1 3 and 3 points after three hours)

I'd like to go back to the old behavior (that is generating a new "Date:" field for each message) Is this possible? Can I do it in the config file? Or should I fiddle with the source code? (a pointer to where to do this would be greatly appreaciated)

TIA
