Good Message-Passing Library?

I have a distributed application which has to control hardware on multiple computers and communicate with a master application. There are at least half a dozen different hardware devices which can all be running at once necessitating at least as many custom programs. Somehow, all these programs have to communicate with each other over TCP/IP. I can write all the sockets code and create my own message-passing library for this, but that's an awful lot of work.

So, is there a good message-passing library out there? MPI seems pretty close to what I need, but I really want asynchronous communication and loosely coupled programs, and MPI seems to consider things like quitting without receiving all the messages destined for your program to be an error. Am I not looking closely enough, is there a way to just send messages asynchronously to other programs and not care about the return value or having to call MPI_recv()? Or, is there another prebuilt library for this sort of stuff?
