[Opensim-dev] What does the MessagingServer do?

[Melanie]

Because of scalability concerns, messages can not pass through a 
central server.

They are passed from the agent region to the destination region 
directly. To this end, the messaging server holds a list of agent 
locations (presence information) and supplies this to the IM and 
friends modules.

Messages pass region to region.
