Hello,
Been looking for a forum to ask my SMTP related question on for some time and came across this place - great
Anyway... im hoping someone could shead some light on a question i have to do with SMTP headers.
I have written a program to write a message to an SMTP server directly in raw SMTP. Example:
Code:
EHLO mail.mydomain.com
MAIL FROM:<me@me.com>
RCPT TO:<test@test.com>
DATA
Subject: Random subject
Message content... bla bla bla...
.
Now this works fine. Nows the scetchy part! I want to make sure that if there is a mail queue on server mail.mydomain.com, mine gets processed before any others.
I have seen the "Precedence: special-delivery" and "Priority: urgent" headers, however these don't seem to work - they get processed after the rest of the queue. The remote mail server runs E SMTP sendmail.
Firstly, anyone know why this doesn't work? Is it correct? Can the remote servers adminisrator have set the headers be ignored/disabled in some way?
Secondly, does anyone else know any other methods i can jump the mail queue? Other headers? Loopholes of some sort?
Thanks,
Sam.
