I don't know if I'm missing the point, but you can acknowledge a range
of messages that were delivered within a channel. Using this command
(basic.ack {delivery_tag = 0, multiple = true}), if you set the
multiple flag, the broker will tick off every message that a consumer
has pulled off up until the tag specified in the command.

HTH,
