This is extremely costly on high traffic lists and defeats the configuration
purposes. I'd like to see a switch (TRUST_HEADERS maybe) that would tell
it to use the Received headers instead of the system date.

That was how I started. Using Elm, I read the mailbox with a couple years
of messages. Elm sorted them by date for me and then I saved them off by
month. It was done just once and from them on I stored them by month. It
worked for me. ;)
