_x000D_ _x000D_ If an mqtt client publishes to and subscribes to a topic, is it possible to convince the broker not to echo message sent by the client back to the client that published the message? For example, if there are four clients (A, B, C, D) that are subscribed to and publishing to topic "foo", and client A publishes a message, I would like the message to be received by clients B, C, and D, but not echoed back to client A.

_x000D_ The MQTT protocol provides publish/subscribe pattern so every topic you subscribed, you receive messages sent on it. The MQTT broker implementation isn't fully standardized : brokers can be different due to different supported features. Until today I didn't head about a broker with such a feature. Of course it could be possible to implement but it depends on broker developers. Paolo.
