Description

Currently if an exception is thrown during the processing of an InOut exchange on rabbitMQ, and both transferException=true and autoAck=false, the exception will be transferred back to the producer however the original message will remain unacknowledged. If the server is restarted, the application will attempt to reprocess the message.

I would like to propose a patch to include a basicAck in the rabbitMQ consumer in this scenario. I’ve chosen to use a basicAck rather than a rejection given that the exception would be handled by the producer in this scenario and there should be no need to deadletter/requeue the messages on rabbitmq.
