Guaranteed delivery means that once a published document is given to the Broker, it will guarantee that it is delivered to all subscribers. If there are no subscribers (in your case, the trigger was disabled and so there was no subscription), then there are no deliveries to make–thus the document is thrown away.
The Broker added a “dead letter queue” facility in recent versions. This queue is the recipient of documents that have no subscribers.
