Proposed are concepts for controlling message distribution in a cooperative messaging environment, CME. The method includes determining an availability of each of a plurality of messaging resources of the CME, each of the plurality of messaging resources being associated with one or more message consuming applications. The method further includes determining an application property for each of the one or more message consuming applications associated with each of the plurality of messaging resources. The method further includes controlling a distribution of a message from a message producing application to at least one of the plurality of messaging resources based, at least in part, on metadata associated with the message, the availability of each of the plurality of messaging resources, and the application property for each of the one or more message consuming applications associated with each of the plurality of messaging resources.
