The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Matt Taggart <address@concealed>]

Hi sympa-users,

Anybody know what priority the "welcome to the list" messages get spooled 
at? Today a list owner added 16k addresses to a list and the flood of 
welcome messages resulted in a delay of other list mail :(
I see the priority settings are listed at 

  http://www.sympa.org/manual_6.1/conf-parameters/part3#tuning

but I don't know what class of messages these are. They are sent with a 
From address of -request@, so maybe "request_priority" applies resulting in 
a default value of 0 and the other list mail is at 5?

I can definitely see wanting some things from sympa to take priority over 
normal list mail, but maybe the welcome message shouldn't?
