There's no explicit setup for that as those are just regular queues from which no one consumes. The simple manual solution is to just delete unused queues and virtual topic will stop sending messages there
Some things you can do to automate this process is: - set expiry on the messages you're sending so that those queues don't keep messages - try deleting inactive destinations as described here - http://activemq.apache.org/delete-inactive-destinations.html Note that deleting inactive destinations assumes that there are no consumers, producers and messages in a certain queue for some time, so this might not work if your destinations are high-volume (as messages will live in the queue for some time). Perhaps one of the improvements in this area is to allow to delete queues which just don't have consumers for some time and ignore message count.
