The Date: line can be forged. I realize that this also applies to
Received: lines, but all you can do is add a forgery, not prevent a
server from adding a valid Received: line.
Since the same argument applies to adding a special-purpose header via
the user-agent, would it be better to (say) replace qmail-inject with a
small filter that adds a header and then passes the message along to
the real qmail-inject? The only advantage to this approach is not
having to parse through multiple Received: lines.
