Hi,

I think that the 'pass' parameter behaviour should be applied here and retrying forever is the correct approach. Because in my case the monitoring of the botnet is an issue and bots stopping abruptly is a big headache.

Sincerely,

Václav Brůžek

Which behavior would you (all readers) expect in this case, after the
maximum configured retries are reached?

Some possibilities:
* Retrying forever. (Comment: The procedure is pass, not retry)
* Dumping the message. (Comment: The error is most probably not
specific to the message)
* Stopping. (Current behavior)
