You should take a look at section 3.1.3.3 (The Topic Exchange Type) in
the AMQP 0-9-1 specification which explains this:
http://www.rabbitmq.com/protocol.html

The 5th tutorial also has some useful information:
http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-five-python.html

#.webhook.# should capture all 3 messages.

If the publisher known exactly where a message should be routed then you
might want to consider Sender-selected distribution. However if you have
100s of destination queues then this is probably not relevant:
