Title: Privatemsg to anonumous » Privatemsg to anonymous

What exactly are you trying to do? Privatemsg may not be the best solution for allowing anonymous users to send messages.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I created a small business directory http://www.smallbusinessgarden.org to allow small business owners to network on one hand (using privatemsg auth users) and to get contacted by their potential customers on the other hand (hopfuly privatemsg anonymous users). So I am looking for a way for anonymous users messages to be possible and be included in the privatemsg inbox of the user.

Sorry for the late reply. Privatemsg is probably not a good solution for this use case, because there would be no way for anonymous users to read the messages they send, and more importantly there would be no way for the message recipients to reply back to the anonymous users.

You would probably be better off making your own content type, Message, and using Entity Reference or a similar module along with Rules to set up a workflow.
