[rabbitmq-discuss] Consumer without a valid connection

[Rosa, Andrea]

Hi

In my application we are using publisher and subscriber (consumer) pattern but we have an odd problem with some consumers.
In the normal scenario we have publishers sending messages on a topic exchange which is bound to a queue and a consumer.
For some reason, that we can't understand, we have got a queue with two consumers and one of this consumer is using a channel of a connection that is not present in the list of connections.
When the publisher send a message to that queue the message is grabbed from the queue after 15 minutes!
My questions are:

-        How is it possible that the consumer is using a channel on a connection that no more  exists?

-        Why there is this delay in grabbing messages? My expectation is that the consumer listening to the correct connection can fetch the message immediately

-        The "wrong" consumer can block the access to the queue?
Our queue are declared as:
Durable = false
Exclusive = false
autoDelete = false

Kind regards

Andrea
