Thanks Alvaro and Matthias. I'm familiar with the default nameless 
exchange, but was wondering whether there were any unforeseen 
consequences if any of the amq.* exchanges were deleted.

If I delete one of the amq.* exchanges, should I be able to re-create 
it? I've tried a redeclaration, but that doesn't seem to work.

Cheers,

Chris
