Received: from unknown (HELO ?151.197.27.26?)
        (art.alexion@verizon.net@151.197.27.26 with plain)
        by smtp102.vzn.mail.dcn.yahoo.com with SMTP; 3 Nov 2005 13:14:37 -0000

This ought to do what you're looking for, but be careful - different
MTA's construct received headers lsightly differently, and you'll need
to figure out a way to compensate for timezone changes.

I suggest just letting spamassassin handle this, as it already hass rule
for this.
