does anyone have a good current header check they would be willing to share,
specifically Im looking for correct fundamentals like date and time?

Years ago this used to be useful, but not anymore. The false
positive rate is fairly high -- nearly 50% last time I tried
it here with a WARN. Not very many messages were caught, but
about half of those caught were not spam. Seems the spammers
have gotten better and the legit mail clients and mail list
software have gotten worse.
Much better to use a scoring system such as SpamAssassin for
header checking.
If you're having trouble blocking spam, show your "postconf
-n" and some samples of what you'd like to block to trigger a
long-running discussion of the best way to block whatever it
is. (post spam samples to pastebin.com or similar, not to the
list). Or just search the archives for many similar discussions.
