Is it possible for a subscriber to know a publisher's client ID? [message #1798796]

I'm using paho as client and mosquitto as broker.

I'm using paho in Python.

Is it possible for a subscriber to know a publisher's client ID?

I appreciate it if you tell me whether it is possible and how to do it.

In general for MQTT, the answer is no. The publish/subscribe paradigm intentionally isolates publishers from subscribers. If the publishing application is your own, you could add the client id to the payload.

Thank you for your reply. Then I'll add client if in payload.
