Hi, Communication with FIX engine is different from a pure client - server communication. AS mentioned in the documentation the quickfix engine that we use behind the camel-quickfix endpoint will establish a communication with a FIX Server and FIX messages will be exchanged regularly (=hearbeat, logon, logout) to keep the communication alive. So this is not a true socket channel created between the two partners but a communication channel. To send messages to FIX server you must use the quickfix-client even if FIX will provide you feedback on the messages exchanged and to receive from a FIX server messages (as a client), you to use the other endpoint.
So you can use from(quickfixserver).to(quickfixclient) otherwise you will resend messages receive through a FIX session to another FIX server with same sesssion id.
