Description

Issue with file pending message cursor (non persistent messages) discarding expired messages. It currently bypasses the destination expiry logic and leaves messages in the store.
In the main, an expired messages don't get added to the cursor or are pruned by the async expiry processing task, but when memory limits are exceeded this problem can occur.
