Set email Priority using sendmail

UNIX AIX
1

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to send an email on unix using sendmail command. For setting the priority to high I use:

X-Priority: 1

And it works on HP but when I tried it on AIX the email is sent but no priority!!

Anyone can help me

Thanks in advance,
Hiposh

That may be a special feature in HP. When I see an email header
X-something: Some Value

I try to remember that for the SMTP protocol it is probably not known. There are many RFC's that govern mail - and if this is one that is specified in an RFC - so it is part of an accepted, especially mandatory standard, and the supported versions of AIX are not supporting it - submit a PMR.

If it is not a standard, submit a a request for a design change.

And, as it is about SMTP/mail handling - a query in a more "mail" oriented forum may get you better results. - Even ask on HP, as it is a known feature there.

A quick of google led me to RFC 6758 - Tunneling of SMTP Message Transfer Priorities
A key phrase - why I do not expect to find any support in AIX, is this:

Hope this helps!

Thanks, I found the solution
I changed it to:

Importance: High

And this works on HP and AIX
