SimpleX uses previously configured SMP servers when custom SMP server is entered for previously created contacts about simplexmq HOT 2 OPEN

Thanks for the question - it highlights what we have to improve, I will explain.

To receive the messages for each contact a different server can be used - the one that was configured at the time the contact was created. Changing the server in the configuration only affects the contacts that would be created after that, it doesn't automatically move messaging queues for the existing contacts to the new server.

This is going to change once we add queue rotation - once the queue is rotated it would move to the server that is configured at the time of rotation, but it won't be instant too - as rotating queues would require some coordination with another user's client.

We are going to add - I am actually working on it right now - the visibility of which servers are used for each contact to receive and to send messages (and you only control the servers used to receive messages, the servers you use to send messages are controlled by your contacts).

We also need to add some comment on server configuration page to clarify it.

Thanks for the clarification, that helped me a lot to understand it better :)
