Setting precedence/priority for a e-mail

[Joao Luiz de Brito Macaiba <macaiba@nc-rj.rnp.br>]

Hi all,

	does anybody knows how to set a message priority when we use
sendmail directly ?

	The case is:

	I have an alias "amigo-oculto". When someone sends a e-mail to
this, a perl script is activated. The important part of this script is :

#################################################
open(SENDMAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -odq") 
	or die "Can not fork for sendmail: $!\n";
print SENDMAIL <<"EOF";
From: seu.amigo.oculto\@nc-rj.rnp.br
To: amigo-oculto\@nc-rj.rnp.br
Subject: $subject

$mess
EOF
close(SENDMAIL);
#################################################


	So the e-mail goes to the queue nicely. The problem is that it
stays there too much time. When, instead of sendmail I use mail
(program), the e-mail does not stay in the queue that much. 

	So I think the MUA mail is setting a higher priority than sendmail
does.

Thank you in advance ...
