Barracuda tagging email with 'date grossly in the future.'

I have a Barracuda 300. Granted it's running on some old firmware and the Energize updates are quite outdated. I'd like to update them, but, not my financial decision to do so.

Starting around the first of the year, our Barracuda began tagging a rather large amount of emails (that were normally allowed into our network) as SPAM because of a high target score due to it perceiving that the date of said email was 'grossly in the future.'

Here is a copy of the Source of the email taken from the Barracuda.

3.38 FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The date is grossly in the future.

Keep in mind, that updating the firmware and applying the Energizer updates at this time is just not feasible. Not that I am guarnateed that that would solve the problem, but, it needs to be taken out of the equation as a possible answer.

I am not that familiar with the inner workings of the Barracuda line of products, does anyone have any idea(s) as to why the Barracuda is thinking that an email sent yesterday at 8:21PM was tagged as a date 'grossly in the future.'

Since the barracudas are so new to me, I'm happy to provide any other information that help suss out what's going on.

Thanks.
