Multiple Destination Messaging

Message Queuing 3.0 includes a new model for one-to-many messaging. In previous versions of MSMQ, a single message could be sent to a single queue. Now, one-to-many messaging enables the same message to be sent to multiple recipient queues. This can be implemented in a number of ways. For details, see the following links:

  • To learn about implementing one-to-many messaging using an Active Directory distribution group object to encapsulate a collection of destination queues that can serve as a distribution list in Message Queuing, see Distribution lists.

  • To learn how messages can be sent programmatically to multiple destinations specified in the form of a multiple-element format name, see Multiple-element format names.

  • For information on how to send messages to a single destination IP address, to be received and processed by multiple IP hosts, see IP multicasting.
