This option prevents an infinite loop: when the redelivery limit is reached, the message will be moved to the error queue. The redelivery limit on the queue will always override the value set on the message itself.

Getting ready

For this recipe we need the two queues from the standard environment and a proxy service that consumes the messages from the SourceQueue. The proxy service will initially just log the content of the message to the console using a Log action.
