I can't say why it might be in the test message, but this is a perfectly legitimate and widely used header - at least one use I know of for "Precedence: junk" is autoresponders. Properly written autoresponders wont reply to a "Precedence: junk" message, and also include this header in their reply messages... Similarly "Precedence: bulk" is commonly used by mailing lists, and well writen autoresponders won't reply to that either. (I think this list adds this header too) If your spam filtering setup is bamboozled by a Precedence header, then maybe you need to look at why and fix it. (It should have no effect either positive or negative on spam filtering.....)
