Spool Priority problems
Problem reported by kevind - 12/2/2015 at 2:39 PM
Submitted
The spool priority doesn't seem to work as advertised. With these settings in the domain's Priority tab, I never see a message with a 4 priority regardless of the number of attempts.

The priority goes from 5 to 3 after the 2nd attempt. Let me know if I'm missing something.
 
FWIW, not sure why this is a domain setting since all the domains mix together in the spool. Maybe it should be a global setting (remove it from each domain) which would simplify things.

Just checking to see if ST can duplicate or if I'm doing something wrong.

Here's another issue with the Spool Priority -- it seems to be ignored for local deliveries.
  1. Set the Sender Priority Override for a mailbox to 3.
  2. Using that mailbox, send a newsletter to a few thousand users on your server which go into spool with a priority=3.
  3. Send yourself a message from @gmail which gets added to spool with a priority=5.
  4. It takes 10 minutes to deliver the newsletter, then you receive the @gmail message.
Expected behavior: the @gmail message with a priority of 5 would get delivered sooner.
 
Thanks,
Kevin
