OK - so if spammers knew about this they could forge Date: so that it was 
20 years in the future and ipurge would never remove those messages from 
the spam folder. I think ipurge needs to have an option to use internaldate 
(from IMAP envelope) as an alternative, and that ought to be the default. 
Perhaps it alrady has that option?
