I have a sendmail message ; there is a field called
"Message received' starting with a timestamp....

Does anyone know if this is local time or GMT ?

Is this the time the message was received by the recipient ?

The syslog message is written by sendmail; it has local time. In this
message the mail was received at nextel.com at 12:10:14. You have no
idea (from the message) what happened to the mail after it reached
nextel.com. There could be further hops within Nextel before the
mail is delivered to the recipient.
