The delivery-mode property is used to indicate persistence requirements.
See the "Message durability" section in
http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-two-python.html for details.

The user-id property is validated only if it is supplied by the
publisher. See
http://www.rabbitmq.com/extensions.html#validated-user-id for details.

Sender-selected distribution makes use of CC and BCC headers in the
message at the time of publication. See
http://www.rabbitmq.com/extensions.html#sender-selected-distribution
for more details:
