Let's assume the header fields in fact are reordered, among
them some Received-SPF.

Now you might be able to sort the timestamp lines by their
timestamps, or more likely by "I know what happens behind
my MX".  Or you just use `nslookup -q=mx`.

If you specified that the timestamp on the Received-SPF field MUST be IDENTICAL to the timestamp on the Received: line added by the same server, that might solve some problems.
