However, the message which is paged is the *reply* containing the operation result. It is not routed to the management address but (generally) to a temporary address. This means I can't use the message destination to bypass paging as it is not the management address. The only way to know if the message corresponds to a management message is to lookup for a well-known property. But this is not optimal as I don't want to lookup every message while only management message should never be paged. So, I added a "pagingEnabled" boolean parameter to PostOffice.route(). When a *management message* is routed, I set it to false. Otherwise, it is true. Then, in the route() method, I wrapped the paging code in a if(pagingEnabled) block. This avoids to do any lookup to check if the message is a management message or not but it clutters a little bit the PostOffice API. wdyt?
