MESSAGE SERVICE DOWNTIME

摘要

The description relates to addressing the downtime of a message service. One example can include determining that an error occurred during a message send process. A decision can be made whether the error is a suspicious error or a non-suspicious error. In an instance where the error is a suspicious error, any resend attempts can be limited to a number of times defined by a crash count threshold.

1. At least one computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform acts, comprising:
receiving a message at a first service; attempting to send the message to a second service; determining whether the attempting caused the message to be successfully sent to the second service or whether an error occurred that caused the message to not be successfully sent to the second service; in an instance where the error occurred, increasing a crash count associated with the message; comparing the crash count to a crash count threshold; and, in an instance where the crash count exceeds the crash count threshold, quarantining the message as a nefarious message without reporting a status of the message to an entity from which the message was received.
