Do IRA funds need to arrive at a mutual fund company by April 15 or is an April 15 postmark sufficient?

I made a 2008 contribution to an existing traditional IRA. It was postmarked April 15 but my mutual fund company sent me a letter saying it arrived too late. It posted to my account on April 22. When I called them after receiving the letter they said it needed to be there by April 18. A phone representative I talked with on April 15 told me they needed to receive the contribution by April 22, and their website only says it needs to be postmarked by April 15.
