XMail does not have queue priority. Usually you can do that using the so called "mailing list exploders". Basically other machines that are used to handle bulk traffic. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
