I think that just sets the priority header in the email, and I believe coldfusion ignores it.
If you want to solve this, create an email queue table, and then send out the emails from that table every x minutes (and only select enough that could be sent out during that x number of minutes through cf). You can add a priority field into that table that you can order by when doing your select statement. Of course you can also install imsMail and not worry about mail backing up. We've been sending out 30k+ emails daily without any issues using IMS Lite (the free version). Your speed will significantly improve if you upgrade to a paid version.
