What's the advantage of doing so? And why can't servers simply reject

Hell if I know but I just got one dated 1969.

That's usually because the date header was missing completely, and some
system along the way assigned a header of Jan 1 1970 -0000, then
corrected for timezone shift.

Possible. But that doesn't explain the ones dated 2001.

Well, Y2K, of course. ;-)
