Today, I saw many errors on my ActiveMQ 5.3.2 console:

> 
> INFO | Usage Manager Memory Limit
>  reached. Stopping producer (ID:...) to
>  prevent flooding topic://mytopic. See
>  <http://activemq.apache.org/producer-flow-control.html>
>  for more info (blocking for: 3422ms)
> 
> 
> 

I did a little bit of poking around, and determined that the subscriber had gone out to lunch:

```
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State      
tcp6       0 130320 10.208.87.178:61613     66.31.31.216:37951      ESTABLISHED

```

In this situation, I don't want the producer to block; I would prefer to drop the client completely. <http://activemq.apache.org/slow-consumer-handling.html> explains how to limit the number of messages queued, which is a good start, but isn't really what I want. <http://activemq.apache.org/slow-consumers.html> alludes to being able to drop a slow consumer, but doesn't explain how one might do this.

So, this is my question: is it possible to set up ApacheMQ to drop slow consumers completely, and how do I do so?
