Ah, I see what you are getting at. I'm wondering if it would be
less hassle to simply use the Received: header that sendmail on
freefall attaches automatically:
Received: (from root@localhost)
by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA19763

Stepping back a bit, for a variety of reasons, the headers need
to be massaged before indexing, and that would be a prime time to
extract the date from the Received line into a form more suitable
for indexing and retrieval. I already do that with the Date
field.
