I agree with Olle that the common "pass the buck" attitude is wrong, although in this case I don't believe securing the messages should be mandatory. Often the communication between servers will be over a private/secure network and the user should be allowed to disable it if they deem it an unnecessary overhead.
Is that another myth - the secure/private/inside network? :-)
Either way, the ability to use TLS where required is a definite must, so I'll go away and look into that now.
At least write the documentation so that most people believe that they have to have TLS and work hard to disable it :-)
Thanks for the comments,
You're welcome!

I don't think that TLS should be mandatory for DMQ, just as it is not mandatory for SIP. My thinking was just that if there is a way to configure DMQ to use TLS (perhaps by just putting "tls:" on the front of the server address) it would be a good thing.

It's not my decision, but personally, I'd leave this to the user to secure, just like everything else that is kind of IPC in nature (database connections, HTTP queries, etc originating from script).
I'm inclined to agree. The DMQ module is indeed IPC in nature, so by default I would expect to be responsible for securing that communication at network layer. But still I question myself, is this the correct approach.
