How to reject mail with future time stamp

[L. D. James via amavis-users]

It's my impression that Spamassasin accepts messages to the server, then 
scans the messages, assign a score then determin whether to deliver the 
messages to the user. I'm trying to use a method to prevent the message 
from ever coming into the server.

Does Amavis have this ability?

I was trying to figure out how to do this will policyd but someone in 
the list said policyd didn't have such a feature (to check the headers 
and block) it was a feature of Amavis.

I have Amavis installed.  I know it's filtering messages.  But I don't 
fully understand how it works.  I'm trying to use it, as in my original 
question, to block unwanted messages from even coming to the server by 
looking at on the header.

If a full message was scanned, that would mean that it came to the 
server to be scanned.

Thanks in advance for any one that can help me to understand the 
workings of Amavis.
