>>>While we are at it, it is not at all clear if a message that has already been persisted should be destroyed by the MSH when TTL has expired.<<< It shouldn't be destroyed based on TTL. The persistDuration should be used instead. This is the *minimum* duration that a message should retained by a MSH for reliable messaging purposes. You might argue though that if TTL is longer the persistDuration that the receiving MSH should persist it until after the TTL has passed. However I can imagine an attack whereby someone sends messages with a TTL of, say, a year hence just to clog up a MSH. Thoughts? David
