What is the problem you're thinking of? Would a setup like the following cope?

 - publishers choose a message ID
 - publishers choose a TTL
 - receivers dedup based on message ID
 - receiver's dedup buffer is expired by (some factor of) TTL
 - each delivery contains an address to which the ACK should be routed
