Re: Priority Management in postfix

Postfix uses a shared queue by design. Instead of making Postfix more complex, you could use different Postfix instances. Using a university as an example, that would be one Postfix instance for the professors and one for the students. I don't think the professors would like it very much if _their_ mail had lower priority than their students' ;-) Stefan

Using a university as an example, that would be one Postfix instance for the professors and one for the students. More importantly, to the extent that Postfix does support separate logical queues, it is by destination, not sender, so while inbound mail (unlikely to incur delays on a well maintained server) can have higher priority for some local users over others, outbound mail is not queued by sender. To accomplish sender-based priority, one needs separate Postfix instances for senders that rate a higher class of service. -- Viktor.

For example, if there are three email with priority *high*, *medium* and *low* respectively. In this case, the high priority email should be sent first, then medium priority email should be sent then low priority email should be sent. Please suggest me whether this is possible or not in postfix. If possible then please let me know how we can implement this? Postfix does not provide per-message priority.
