1. A system for managing communications in a telecommunications system, the system comprising:
- a server coupled to the telecommunication system to transmit a large number of first messages with corresponding content to a first plurality of recipients, wherein the first messages contain information and each include a specified first reply address altered from a sender address, wherein the specified first reply addresses are addresses to which first replies to the first messages are sent by the plurality of recipients,wherein the system receives the first replies to the messages from at least some of the first plurality of recipients at the specified reply addresses included in the messages,wherein the server or another server included in the system transmits a large number of second messages to the plurality of recipients from whom first replies to the first messages were received, herein second plurality of recipients, all second messages having corresponding content but different content as in the first messages,wherein at least one of the first messages intended for a particular one of the first plurality of recipients is routed differently in the telecommunications system from the reply from the particular one of the first plurality of recipients, andwherein, the server or another server also included in system, analyzes the reply addresses for the received replies to determine which transmitted messages the replies correspond to, wherein a combination of the sender address and the reply address is used in the analysis to determine which transmitted messages the replies correspond to.

Abstract
A method and system for sending messages in a telecommunications network, in which digital messages which contain information on the desired reply address are mass sent, and messages, which are sent on the basis of the reply-address information are received. The reply-address information of each mass-sent message is converted to correspond to a predefined dialog, in which the stage of the dialog defines unequivocally the reply-address information, so that the transmission and reception of the messages are implemented in different parts of the telecommunications system.
