[rabbitmq-discuss] Consumer's confirm

[Steve Powell]

ML,

The definitive guide to Publish-confirms is in the extensions
documentation [1], where it says:

> Unroutable mandatory or immediate messages are confirmed right after

Notice that a confirmation does not necessarily mean that a consumer has
received and acknowledged the message; in general it means that RabbitMQ
has successfully 'processed' the message, which might mean 'persisted' it, if
it is persistent, or returned it, if it was unroutable (and marked
mandatory), etc.

You may wish to investigate the 'immediate' and 'mandatory' flags. Be
aware that you cannot use 'publisher confirms' on a transactional
channel.

But I comment the consumer part. with my surprise producer gives ack, even if I uncomment  consumer part and send NACK instead of ack!
