Full Discussion: Set email Priority using sendmail
Operating Systems AIX Set email Priority using sendmail Post 302788147 by MichaelFelt on Monday 1st of April 2013 06:00:09 AM

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:
Quote:
A number of other header fields are already in use, mostly in Message User Agents (MUAs), to convey meanings related to importance or priority of messages. Examples of such header fields are Importance [RFC2156], Priority [RFC2156], and X-Priority (undocumented).
Hope this helps!

sendmailconfig

SENDMAILCONFIG(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 SENDMAILCONFIG(8)

NAME

       sendmailconfig - configure sendmail for Debian systems

SYNOPSIS

       sendmailconfig [--no-reload]

DESCRIPTION

       sendmailconfig is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian systems.

       In  the	simplest  case,  you  may  run	this program to (re)configure sendmail for your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file
       /etc/mail/sendmail.mc in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.

       For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of  sendmailconfig  will
       preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file.

       Normally  sendmailconfig  will  ask  if	you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will
       avoid this question.

FILES

       /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
	      sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
	      actual sendmail configuration file

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cw
	      names for which we will accept mail in the standard configuration

       /etc/mail/sendmail.ct
	      names of trusted users in the standard configuration
