<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div>The amq.* exchanges are dictated by the AMQP spec.<div><br></div><div>The�unnamed�exchange can be used in your app with various purposes. For example: every queue gets bound to the "anon" exchange using the queue name as routing key. �That means you can send a message directly to a queue by doing:</div>
<div><br></div><div>channel.publish(msg, '', 'queue-name')</div><div><br></div><div>That's quite useful in RPC scenarios, or to send messages to anon queues for example.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div>

Should I be able to delete amq.direct, amq.fanout etc.? I've found that I can delete them, although I can't delete the default 'nameless' exchange,� which makes sense. Do these amq.* exchanges serve any particular purpose?<br>
