   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.
