Dead-letter (undelivered message) queues

 

A dead-letter (undelivered message) queue is a local queue on which the queue manager puts messages that it cannot deliver.

When the queue manager puts a message on the dead-letter queue, it adds a header to the message. This includes such information as the intended destination of the original message, the reason that the queue manager put the message on the dead-letter queue, and the date and time that it did this.

Applications can also use the queue for messages that they cannot deliver. For more information, see Using the dead-letter (undelivered message) queue.
