To fix this with a recent Kolab server, add the following line to
/kolab/etc/kolab/templates/local.cf.template:

score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0.0

After that run as root: /kolab/sbin/kolabconf

Older versions of Kolab Server don't have local.cf.template, you
will have to edit /kolab/etc/spamassassin/local.cf and after that
restart amavisd with: /kolab/etc/rc.d/rc.amavisd restart
(I only tested it on a 2.2.3 server)

See http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/FH_DATE_PAST_20XX for
details.
