My Question is why One Consumer blocking all other consumer /producer. (see the stack trace which shows one of the Consumer is waiting for some response from SMTP server).

I saw that..I can enable ProduceFlowControl...I am just worried whether it will start spilling to the disk and create more problems. I am not sure whether setting SMTP timeout will avoid the consumer waiting indefinitely. http://www.nabble.com/file/p22586789/Thread%252BDump%252Bfor%252BActiveMQ_2.tdump.txt Thread%2BDump%2Bfor%2BActiveMQ_2.tdump.txt -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-producer-consumer-hangs-when-on-of-the-consumer-didn%27t-respond-tp22586789p22586789.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
