 * Hi,
 * We use mail-tester.com, usually to check if our Newsletters are likely to be 
   received by anyone, but we also use it to check what or if mails from websites
   are being send properly.
 * We recently installed 3 new websites that all have trouble delivering emails,
   like the default WP mails when you register a new user.
 * One of the things the mail-tester is pointing out that spam assassin:
 * -1.568 XPRIO Please remove the X_PRIORITY header
 * We have looked, but could not find where we can change this, could someone point
   us in the right direction?

 * hello ximie90,
 * did you find a solution? i am having the same issue, i was hopefull when i saw
   this function but in my case it didn’t work
 *     ```
       add_filter('phpmailer_init','update_priority_mailer');
       function update_priority_mailer($mailer){
           $mailer->Priority = NULL;
           return $mailer;
       }
       ```
   
 * Above does work but mail-tester stills sees ” 1.6 XPRIO Has X-Priority
    header*”
   So i guess this X-Priority is not set by class-phpmailer.php
 * Also do you know a simple way to set the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)??
