This seems to be something calling Time::Local with an abiguous time
and it is outside of the range of sane dates.
I'm not totally sure what is calling timegm which results in these
days, but it's probably invalid; you could easily use the debugger to
do a stack trace of whatever is calling Time::Local::timegm().

The above is the actual error; without actually seeing the bind params
you're executing it's hard to say what exactly is going wrong.

Quite the contrary; they *love* collateral damage. If they can make
you miserable enough, maybe you'll stop using email entirely. Once
enough people do that, then there'll be no legitimate reason left for
anyone to run an SMTP server, and the spam problem will be solved.
