MSMQ messages not received at target machine

[rache...@googlemail.com]

I have 2 PCs running Windows 2000 and 1 PC running XP. MSMQ has been
installed for the PCs running in WORKGROUP (ie not on a domain).

The 2 Windows 2000 PCs are sending and receiving MSMQ messages to each
other quite happily but when a Windows 2000 PC sends a message to the
XP machine's queue there is no indication that it arrives. The Windows
2000 PC sending the message has an entry in it's Outgoing list of
queues which contains the correct ip address etc and it says that it
is "connected".

I'm wondering if it is a security issue that's causing the problem.
The XP machine quite happily talks to an application on the 2000 PC
using .NET Remoting - it just seems to be the MSMQ that's not working.

Is there some security setting that I may need to change to allow the
XP machine to accept messages in it's queue from a Windows 2000 PC?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi Rachel,

It would appear that the receiving queue manager on the Windows XP machine
has discarded the message if it no longer appears in the outgoing queue.
There are a number of reasons for it doing this - such as sending
transactional messages to a non-transactional queue.
You need to add Negative Source Journaling to the message so that it arrives
in the Dead Letter Queue where you can check the class to see why it failed
to reach the queue.
