It is not a question of what received means for you or me. TB's Received
time is NOT a header included in the message at all (see the source of
any message) and I was talking about Received: headers, which are well
defined in RFCs. For example:
,----- [ In RFC-822 ]
| 4.3. TRACE FIELDS
|
| Trace information is used to provide an audit trail of mes-
| sage handling. In addition, it indicates a route back to the
| sender of the message.
|
| <snipped>
|
| 4.3.2. RECEIVED
|
| A copy of this field is added by each transport service that
| relays the message. The information in the field can be quite
| useful for tracing transport problems.
|
| The names of the sending and receiving hosts and time-of-
| receipt may be specified.
|
| <snipped>
`-----
,----- [ In RFC 2822 ]
| 3.6.7. Trace fields
|
| The trace fields are a group of header fields consisting of an
| optional "Return-Path:" field, and one or more "Received:" fields.
|
| The "Return-Path:" header field contains a pair of angle brackets
| that enclose an optional addr-spec. The "Received:" field contains a
| (possibly empty) list of name/value pairs followed by a semicolon and
| a date-time specification. The first item of the name/value pair is
| defined by item-name, and the second item is either an addr-spec, an
| atom, a domain, or a msg-id. Further restrictions may be applied to
| the syntax of the trace fields by standards that provide for their
| use, such as [RFC2821].
`-----
,----- [ In RFC 2821 ]
| 4.4 Trace Information
|
| When an SMTP server receives a message for delivery or further
| processing, it MUST insert trace ("time stamp" or "Received")
| information at the beginning of the message content, as discussed in
| section 4.1.1.4.
|
| This line MUST be structured as follows:
| <snipped>

That's all.
