I believe there are a couple of programs out there that do this, but the
one I'm most familiar with is V-MailServer.  (I developed it.)  Besides
handling mailing lists and file requests, it has a feature called AFS -
Automatic File Sending.  You setup an alias entry such as:

vmail-info-request | h:\vmail.exe -t vmail-info-request

This calls the V-MailServer program to handle the request.  One of the
configuration files used by V-MailServer has a list of addresses, and
text files to send. Eg -

vmail-info-request c:\waffle\info\vmail
bad-server-address c:\waffle\info\badserv
etc...

When a message is processed by V-MailServer, it scans this file, looking
a matching address.  If one is found, it simply sends the file to
original sender.

It might be overkill for you situation, but I'll let you decide that.
V-MailServer 1.22 is available from my system, along with documentation
for version 2.0.  Version 2.0 is in beta right now, and is tentatively
scheduled for release February 15th.
