Please read 
https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html#queue-durability, 
which explains that messages are only persisted if they are marked as 
such *and the queue is declared as 'durable'*. So simply declare the 
queue(s) as non-durable, though this does mean they need re-creating 
after a broker restart.
