...But I'm told that we just want to pass around these XML messages and
that we need to be able to queue them up for times of no connectivity.
So someone may be out of wifi range or lack ethernet connectivity or
simply not be logged in via dial-up (dial-up is an option for this
particular thingy) and they might compose a message (or the system
software might compose some sort of message even without the user's
knowledge) and it should be queued up and sent later. ...
So not knowing anything more about your app, I'm compelled to ask -- why not SMTP? You know, plain old email technology. Each site runs an MTA. The MTA's know about one-another and queue messages while the network is partitioned. Plenty of security options for good old email.
Is email not reliable enough? Is there a perception that an MTA requires too much administration?
