Using memory limits or store usage limits with an expiry time are your
options for queues at the moment. I think this requirement has been
mentioned before, especially for non persistent messages. An internal
consumer triggered off the queue size counter could do the necessary. What
sort of options would you require w.r.t dealing with discarded messages?
What happens in MQ when the maxdepth is reached?

Could you raise an enhancement request for this feature?
