[rabbitmq-discuss] Queue / Exchange Purge

Wed Dec 22 14:51:31 GMT 2010

Hi Steven,

Exchanges are just message routers.  You publish messages to them, and
they route the messages to queues immediately, based on the routing
keys.  Exchanges *never* hold messages, so purging them doesn't really
make sense.

What are you trying to achieve?

Cheers,
Alex
