# default

For topics, `default` specifies that messages are sent to each subscriber in turn. If the `maxbytes` or `maxmsgs` setting has been reached for a subscriber, that subscriber does not receive the message. No error is returned to the message producer.

For queues, `default` specifies that new messages are rejected by the server and an error is returned to the producer if the established `maxbytes` or `maxmsgs` value has been exceeded.

Note: When delivery delay is enabled for a topic, the behavior of `overflowPolicy=default` mimics that of a queue. That is, when `maxbytes` or `maxmsgs` has been reached, new messages are rejected by the server and an error is returned to the producer.
