Out of sync with what?

There's nothing meaningful to compare the dates to that can show you that they 
are 10 or 30 minutes ot of sync with whatrever.

The actual "Date:" header should be created when the users saves the mail to 
the mail clients outgoing queue.
If the user has a dial-up connection, it might well be hours (sometimes days) 
before (s)he decides to send the outgoing mails to a server, so you can expect 
a long delay between the "Date:" field and the first "Received:" field.

In each server the mail passes it might be delayed. Servers usually tries to 
send mail as fast as possible, but more that 10 minutes delay is perfectly 
normal, and more than 30 minues isn't that uncommon.
