[rabbitmq-discuss] Bug: Messages lost on server restart with dead-letter and TTL queue

Fri Jun 27 00:43:28 BST 2014

Hi,

The following URL from 2012 described a bug where if the rabbitmq server 
was stopped and started again after a period of time which is greater than 
a queues TTL, the messages would be lost rather than being dead-lettered.

http://rabbitmq.1065348.n5.nabble.com/Lost-messages-on-dead-letter-ttl-queue-while-process-is-restarted-td23004.html

In the thread, Matthias said this was a bug and would be fixed in a future 
release.  

I am running v3.3.1 and am seeing this behaviour which suggests the bug has 
not been fixed, this would be strange considering this bug was identified 
~1.5 years ago.   

Can anyone confirm if this was fixed, or if their is some other caveat to 
this issue?

Thanks,
Sam
