Interesting idea. I think redundancy support in the client is needed to make it reliable/useful… Re any queue - any sequential transport, e.g. there is implementation that wraps SMP into WebSocket frames, we just don’t use it yet, and it’s easy to wrap in any block transport - SMP uses fixed size blocks.
Happy to brainstorm it further.

Poll: Message expiration on SMP relays
When the messages are delivered they are instantly removed from the relay memory. If the messages are not delivered (e.g., the recipient never connects to the relay to receive the messages) they are kept up to 30 days.

The experimental support for SimpleX File Transfer Protocol to send videos and large files up to 1gb is now available!
See this post about XFTP: https://simplex.chat/blog/20230301-simplex-file-transfer-protocol.html
On my fast internet it takes 3 sec to send 25mb and 2 min to send 1gb.
Please note: currently the network settings are not used for sending files - it will be improved in the next version.
This version also fixes many bugs, in particular the bugs specific to ARMv7a 32bit devices.
