Setting High Priority in SMTP

[ctarr]

I am using GW6 and sending mail using SMTP through an ASP page. I need to send some emails with Priority=HIGH.

I set in code either X-Priority: 5 or MSG-Priority=HIGH and both result in Normal priority email. I can view the source and see that X-Priority was set to 5 but the email is delivered as normal priority.

Has anybody set the priority via SMTP before? Or do you know if my syntax is wrong?

Thanks for the help

ctarr,

Sorry to backtrack but your post sounds similar to my questions.

I have an ASP webpage running internally on Windows 2k with IIS generating automatic emails with CDONTS. This machine is connected to a Novell network running GW6 behind a firewall.

I can't send emails directly out to a SMTP host. GW6 can send out emails. Is there a way to get emails from my NT box into the GW system so GW can send them out?

Did this make any sense or was it gibberish.
I know very little about Novell.

kermitfrogwv, well I'll try to help. I've used CDONTS over a windows network and going between firewalls to an Exchange server without any problems.

If the admins of your novell/GW systems have not turned off email forwarding/bouncing then you should be able to send the email. If they turn off email forwarding it's because they don't want spammers to bounce off their machines

What I do is use a little app call EasyMail it's basically the same as using CDONTS but has a few more features. My emails are generated from ASP code and at the end of the code I send the email. My windows network sends the email to the GW box and everything seems to work. (My email is only going to internal addresses) Are you sending inside or outside of your network?

Couple of things to look at on your end. Let me know what you find.
