1. A method for enabling a message to be sent from one or more anonymous senders to one or more known recipients, comprising the steps of:

  • receiving a message from a sender through a message transmission means which is able to provide the message in a standard format for further processing;

    processing said message to obtain an identifying code which uniquely identifies a recipient group, which is composed of one or more recipients;

    evaluating said identifying code to ensure that said message is valid for transmission to said recipient group;

    storing said message and other information regarding the message in a data storage means that ensures later retrieval of said message and said other information such that the content of said message or said other information is unadulterated and is secure;

    evaluating periodically criteria that determine whether said message should be transmitted to said recipient group;

    preparing an outgoing message for transmission to said recipient group once said criteria have been fulfilled;

    providing said outgoing message with content which includes the content of all messages destined for said recipient group that have not as yet been transmitted to said recipient group and that are stored in said storage means;

    removing information regarding the sender from each message included in said outgoing message; and

    transmitting said outgoing message to said recipient group, such that each member of said recipient group receives the message;

    whereby members of said recipient group can not easily identify the sender of a message and therein enable sender(s) to communicate anonymously with said recipient group.
