Thanks for your response.

 * With consumers you need to manually keep track of redeliveries (this means messages should have unique identifiers)

How to keep tracke of redeliveries and message (payload) has unique identifier too.

Can you please help?

Are you talking about publisher confirms or message acknowledgements? Although in both cases, it's up to your applications:

 * With publisher confirms you fully control when and how many times you retry
 * With consumers you need to manually keep track of redeliveries (this means messages should have unique identifiers)

RabbitMQ has dead letter exchanges:

which can work in concert with TTL:

or you could just publish a message to a queue of your choice using the default exchange (see tutorial 1).
