Cool three Steves.

<humor style="sarcasm">
Well I think that a more generic approach might be great. Something that
could show who received the message from who, at what time, for what
address, and maybe other information as well. You could then teach the
archivers what is the name of your mailing list.
I think we can call it simply "received". Quick someone write a RFC for
this one; I think it's a winner.
Below are a few examples of just what might be possible.

Anyway I think that maybe the existing headers might have enough
information to do the job. I also think that if the date shows too much
skew into either the past or the future you shouldn't be forwarded seems
someone already gave a config option that you can tweak for that.

Actually I think it could be cool to integrate in something like
http://hashcash.org/ which would also force clocks to be in sync by at
least a month.

I guess that I'm just trying to think of how things like spf/ses/srs,
http://www.doaml.net/ , http://sourceforge.net/projects/gossip-project/
, hashcash, and a few other things might fit into the mailman world.
