🐞 Describe the bug

Email notifications sent by my private ntfy instance were not accepted by remote smtp server due to missing header Date (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6).

Here is the amavis scanner (email spam and virus scanner) report

554 5.6.0 bounce, id=3454424-13 - bad header
Missing required header field: "Date"

This has been added to ntfy, but it hasn't been released yet: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/1141

You can download the current source code and compile ntfy yourself or wait for the next release. (I'm not sure when it will be)
