Specifically, you could use either an X-List-Sequence-Number header or an X-List-Receipt-Date header for your purpose. Teach the archivers about them (and the versions without "X-", since of course you'll submit an RFC, right?) for the benefit of web readers. 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. </humor>
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.
