I don't think there's any config option on this, but I could be wrong.

Looking at the 2.0.13 source, I see this in Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py:

    # Semi-controversial: some don't want this included at all, others
    # want the value to be `list'.
    if not msg.get('precedence'):
        msg['Precedence'] = 'bulk'

You could change it there or simply remove it.  Note that 2.1.2 sets this to
list instead of bulk.
