If the queue is exclusive, the durability attribute has no effect
because the queue will be deleted as soon as client disconnects
(or its connection is lost).

auto-deleted queues are deleted when the last consumer is cancelled
(or its channel is closed, or its connection is lost).
If there never was a consumer (e.g. you only use basic.get), it won't
be deleted.

Obviously, when a queue is deleted, all messages in it are also deleted.

RabbitMQ does not generate message ids that are exposed to clients. Do not rely
on delivery tags for anything.
