The present methods are directed to authenticating multi-author message content. In aspects, a sender of a message (first author) may utilize a messaging application to create the message and some message content. However, when creating the message, the sender may embed original content (e.g., from a second author) into the message. For instance, the sender may embed original content corresponding to a news article, a Twitter&#xae; post, an invoice, a blog post, or any other original content. Traditional systems are able to verify the sender (first author), but cannot verify the authenticity of the embedded original content. That is, when the recipient receives the message, the recipient cannot verify whether or not the sender (or some other individual) altered the original content prior to sending the message. The present systems provide for recipient authentication of the identity of the second author, as well as the authenticity of embedded original content.

Preserving integrity of multi-authored message content

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate migrating message for a messaging service. In aspects, a determination is made that messages need to be migrated based on a threshold being crossed. In response, an agent is instructed to migrate data associated with the messages to another location. The agent uses various factors to determine one or more queues to migrate. While a queue is being migrated, during a first portion of the migration, messages may be added to and removed from the queue as senders send new messages and receivers consume messages. During a second portion of the migration, the queue is frozen to disallow the queue to be used for receiving new messages and delivering queued messages. The migration may be orchestrated to attempt to achieve certain goals.
