I can confirm that it is NOT working for a avatar on their home 
OSGrid viewing online status of a friend on Openvue grid . the 
friends list shopws them onlien when they log off, even after a IM 
attempt shows it cannot be delivered.

This may or may not be a separate issue, but it MAY not relate to 
size of delivery of group and offline message recipients. I see 
Robust.exe server crashes on Openvue grid when an avatar on OSGrod 
tries to send an IM to a friend on Openvue grid who is offline.  Just 
between 2 people.  No group messages.  I see VERY many attempts to 
send the message which appears to crash the Robust.exe shell.  It 
could be that they also constantly keep trying and that this builds 
up as more messages are attempted and not delivered.  It may or may 
not be an interaction with the offline messaging facilities.  Clearly 
off-line message delivery is essential aspect of cross-grid IM.  But 
it needs an approach which allows for short and long term server up 
and down time and avatar offline status that works for tens of 
thousands of avatars.
