You want the date the mail was sent to your MTA?  How is that different
than the date it was received by your MTA?
No - this would be really the same then. :)

But let me clarify...

... each received header contains the date where a mail
was taken from the previous host.

I'll try to illustrate which date I'm after, so let's assume:

SENDER -> RELAY X -> RELAY Y -> RELAY Z -> OUR MTA -> RECEIVER

When I'm on |OUR MTA| then 'date_received' would point to
the date where |OUR MTA| took the mail from |RELAY Z|.

But my intention is to know the date when a mail was received
by |RELAY Z| ( coming in from |RELAY Y| on |RELAY Z|).
This is what I meant by 'previous hop' in my initial post.

Thanks,
