The processor is programmed to store a first record of a first message in the database, the first record including a first message relationship unique identifier (MUI) as a tag. The first MUI corresponds to a first message family. The processor is also programmed to receive a second message, and execute a matching process. The processor is further programmed to store a second record of the second message, including, in response to a match of the second message to the first record, including the first MUI as a tag, and in response to the result indicating no match, generating a second MUI for the second message and including the second MUI as the tag on the second record.
