When sending message to remote computers that are temporarily unavailable, queue manager will put message in the outgoing queue.

I think it's possible that outgoing queue is full at some time. Can I check the status (full or has more buffer) of the outgoing queue before sending message? or the quota of the outgoing queue only depends on computer disk.

Hi Frank,

the outgoing queue has as much space as the whole MSMQ system on the sending machine.

As long as you have disk space (and kernel memory) and haven't reached your system-wide message quota then you should be OK.

We saw this today where the remote queue had storage limits imposed and we were hitting that limit; causing the outgoing queue to build. Check the "Limit Message Storage" setting is not constricting your queue.

1. Computer Mamagement -> Services and Applications -> Message Queuing

2. Right click Properties

3. General Tab, See the "Storage Limits" frame.

Hi Phil,

Did you have the outgoing queue status of "Locked"?

I expect you were only seeing a few of the symptoms covered in this blog post.
