- Right. I've never seen it defined anywhere either, but most sendmail.cf
- files I've examined have the following entries for adjusting the queueing
- priority of mail messages:
-
- Pfirst-class=0
- Pspecial-delivery=100
- Pbulk=-60
- Pjunk=-100
-
- Any other field in a Precedence header probably will have no effect, unless
- someone just happens to define a priority for that name on a particular
- host. My relatively uninformed guess is that the above definitions are
- probably about as standard as it gets.
