That is an implementation issue which could be resolved by checking other
timestamps in the header.

Possibly the origination local TOD might be more valuable or combined with
the "always on" delivery TOD provide more definitive indication.

It is delicate enough that would definitely have to be configurable on/off
with an off default.

I am convinced there is a valuable correlation if combined with other
factors like final score, or even more granular, the other rules hit. It
should probably also have a learning capability to learn which rule
associations would be most effective and score accordingly. I just don't
know if it would be worth the effort coding something complex enough provide
a reliable indication.

It would be a poor move for those of us who don't have 24/7 connectivity for
their mailservers.  My mail is delivered by SMTP from my ISP over my dial-up
connection, and hence my mail is delivered between 0630-0730 and 1830-2330
(i.e. the times my system is on-line). Naturally, this is my home PC, but I
can imagine there are plenty of such users (even though our mail volume is
small).
