Dead Letter Permissions and Persistence
 
How Dead Letter Subscriptions Relate to Regular Subscriptions
Dead Letter Behavior in a Territory
With respect to permissions and persistence, the following points apply to dead letter subscriptions:
*A dead letter subscription is subject to the same permission requirements as a regular subscription. That is, a client can receive dead letters for only the events on its can-subscribe list. If a client specifies an event type using wildcard characters, that client will receive only those dead letters that coincide with its can-subscribe list.
*Persistence of dead letter events is determined by the normal rules of client types and event types.
*Dead letter subscriptions apply to both published and delivered events. If the Broker receives a delivered event that has been addressed to a non-existent client, the Broker will deposit that event in the dead letter queue if one exists for the event type.
