Hi,

First Camel dead letter channel is a generate channel. You can not only 
store the message into a  dead letter queue, but also any other Camel 
endpoints(such as sead, direct or file).

Second, Camel dead letter channel has some advance features which are 
inherited from error handler[1], you can user the try... catch and 
onwhen, onException to deal with different error message.
