M

machine: See computer.
MachineName: The name of the computer where the queue's messages will be stored. Machine names are not case sensitive, so "mymachine" and "MyMachine" are treated the same way.
To indicate the local computer, you can substitute the string "." for the name of the local machine. For private queues, the machine name must be the name of the local machine.
MachineGUID: Computer identifier generated by MSMQ when the computer is added to your enterprise.
machine journal: Used to store copies of application-generated messages.
See also queue journal.
mail message: An MSMQ message whose body is formatted in MSMQ mail format. The body of a mail message can be composed or parsed by any MSMQ application..
The MSMQ Exchange Connector and MAPI Transport Provider translate between e-mail and MSMQ mail messages.
message: MSMQ messages are defined by their properties. Included in these properties is the message body, which contains the bulk of the information passed between applications.
message identifier: Used by applications to identify a message. It is also used by MSMQ to indicate the original application message associated with an acknowledgment or report message.
message queue: An application-generated queue that contains application-generated messages. Applications can send messages to these queues or read their messages. They can be public queues that are registered in Active Directory or private queues that are registered on individual computers.
MIME: Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is a standard that is used to encode Internet mail messages and is described by several RFCs; the most relevant RFCs are RFC-822, 1521 (MIME), and RFC-1867 (form data).
MS DTC external transaction: External transaction where transaction object is provided by Microsoft® Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC). Used when more then one resource manager is required.
MSMQ Connector Server: The MSMQ connector server allows MSMQ-based applications to communicate with computers that use other messaging systems (foreign computers). MSMQ connector servers use internal connector queues and a connector application to pass messages between the MSMQ and foreign enterprises.
The Level 8 Systems MSMQ message queuing product is an example of an MSMQ connector server.
MSMQ information store: MSMQ information store (MQIS). A Microsoft® SQL Server version 6.5 replicated database that contains information about your MSMQ enterprise. It includes information about items such as public queues, computers, MSMQ servers, and CNs.
MSMQ internal transaction: Transaction provided by MSMQ. Internal transactions cannot be passed to other resource managers.
MSMQ mail format: The MSMQ mail format is used by applications that send messages to e-mail based applications. The MSMQ mail format is a subset of the standard Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) format.
MTS transaction: Transaction that uses the Microsoft® Transaction Server (MTS) environment. MSMQ implicitly uses the current MTS transaction if one is available.
