Thank you James for the clarification. I am little unclear on the "time to live" and persistent options for a publisher. "Time to live ", assuming that it is 5 minutes , indicates that a message should be discarded , after the given interval of time . If "time to live" option is used along with persistent delivery mode, messages get stored in the disk . How does the clean up operation determine that a message has to be purged ,Does it do the message purge after the time to live interval has elapsed ? Or the Time to live interval does not have any effect on clean up procedure .

They could be - it depends on the background cleanup operation. -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
