I'm thinking about the system(software,service,maybe autoresponders*?*,etc.,) that can interact with the user. Let's say something like to take an order or maybe to fill forms when you open an account say on AltaVista or elsewhere. In form of question-answer with programmable options-answers. I think something like autoresponders but not sure since never used one.It should be free or not expensive ,preferably by email means but all other options and opinions are welcome.Thanks in advance.

Since Jan 1, I can't receive any message from ACCMAIL, at first, I think maybe no one have questions, one weeks later, I realized I was wrong, so I resubscribed it(didn't unsubscribed),It works again, I'm afraid that someone who can't receive messages does't understand the situation.

If you have a Unix shell account (or your own server running Linux), know Perl, then the answer is yes. You can do this with a program called Procmail.

With 2700 addresses subscribed I imagine the list owner (or whoever gets the error-messages from listserv) can't check every address. Listserv automatically deletes subscription after an address delivers a number of errors How quickly this happens depends on how the list is set up. In some cases the problem with a particular address can be short-lived but the listserv has no way of knowing whether the problem is temporary or permanent and it is usually the latter.

You could use the send command to retrieve Web pages (converted into text) in the body of a message. So, use send followed by the URL.
