BITNET lists do not as a rule include Precedence: headers.

This may depend on which version of UNIX you have, but the full paragraph
from the SunOS 4.1.2 man page says

   No message is sent if the `To:' or the `Cc:' line  does  not
   list  the  user to whom the original message was sent or one
   of a number of aliases for them, if the  initial  From  line
   includes the string -REQUEST@, or if a `Precedence: bulk' or
   `Precedence: junk' line is included in the header.
