    Looks like I have a similar issue. I received 3 bad packets. So I guess
    it's nothing for me to worry about.

    I've come across this scenario before as well with Mystic. While I havent dumped the packet to see what field might be the cause (and didnt find a
    packet dumping utility) - I put it down to my 1995 Ezycom - as it was a
    netmail packet from it each time that caused Mystic to balk.

    That old message just went out for unknown reasons. I had looked at it yesterday, so maybe that had something to do with it - it got in the queue somehow. Just now I was working on that Vampire Snowman bot which hasn't been working much of the last two months. I made a couple of commands to make it, check it, and another to send it out. Before that I ran a poll and I think that's when the old 08/15/18 (US date format) went out. Seems it had been queued up and that poll sent it out, but I don't really know why it got
    queued.
