"natter" is the English borrowed word you are looking for to describe it
Tjata     (swedish for "nag")
Tjatter   (swedish for "chatter")
Snattra   (swedish for "let ones gob run on empty")
Gnöla     (swedish for "whine")
Viska     (swedish for "whisper")
Hojta     (swedish for "yell")

Less related to the topic would be,

Tjosan!   (swedish for "Wahey!")


"Postel"
a) sounds like "Postal"
b) Jon Postel pretty much made the internet work

But probably less googlable than would desired.

Maybe "Postet" instead? post+et? seems googeable

Either of the above might suggest too much that other
store and forward message queing and delivery system known
more commonly as "email".


squawk
quack

Yak -- there's the play on words between Yacking (slang: talking) and the Tibetan herd animal.
Telephant

Taxis?

Based on the famous Von Thurn und Taxis family in germany that pioneered
mail delivery in europe:

but each one already has some links to software projects or companies.

Except that it feels a bit unwieldy, "Champollion" could be used in honor of
the gent would decoded the Rosetta stone.

Alternatively, and perhaps even more apropos:

  Pidgin:
    A pidgin, or contact language, is the name given to any
    [artificial] language [created] as a means of
    communication between speakers of different languages

+1. I like Pidgin.
