Drop new received messages when a queue is full

[bloodBaron]

According to http://www.rabbitmq.com/maxlength.html,
"Messages will be dropped or dead-lettered from the front of the queue to make room for new messages once the limit is reached."

Is there a way to drop/reject the new messages instead of dropping the old messages on the queue?

Thx!

So that also means it's impossible to unbind a queue from an exchange when the queue is full, isn't it?

Thanks a lot!

Queue contents and bindings are not related. You can bind/unbind queues with messages, or bind/unbind empty queues as well. 

If you want to drop new messages, then use a per-queue-TTL  = 0, see: https://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2014/01/23/preventing-unbounded-buffers-with-rabbitmq/#noqueueingatall

Cheers,
