If you are manually acking messages then the server will not forget
about the message until it has received the ack from you. If you fail to
ack a message and the client closes the channel or connection then the
message will be redelivered elsewhere.

RabbitMQ does not implement basic.reject so you can not use that to
explicitly ask the server to resend the message to some other consumer.
