Unfortunately, I'm getting legit mail lately with Received: after
From:.  So far, however, there's never been more than one Received:
line following From:, and it has always appeared immediately after
From:.

    I've seen a legit message with more than one "Received:" header
after the "From:".  As I understand it, the message was supposed to be
relayed to a "smart" host (that was responsible for adding the "From:"),
but it was bounced a few times until the relay machine was accessible.
Isn't life fun? :-)
