In a filter file, you can use the expansion features such as substr to
extract the date from the Date: header.

However, the value won't be in that format. If you want to base it on
the current time, you can get that out of several Exim variables, for
example, $tod_log. Use a command something like

save /some/file/${substr_x_y:$tod_log}

where x and y are the offset and length for extracting the part of the
date you want. Use "exim -be" to test your expansion.
