You are very right, it is strange however that over the few hundreds
of thousands up updates this has never happened. I usually wait for an
acknowledgement before I send in a new update.

And no, dbupdate does not check the date in the email header, it is as
reliable as mail itself. 

These are implementation and general database matters, NOT ripe-81++
matters. We should take implementation matters offline, and not bother
all these mailing lists with it.
