Brief Summary:

This a server side software crawler to be written in python, perl or php, language preferred in the order mentioned. It will be a modular software, written in components, so that frequent modifications and extensions/additions are possible.

It will post requirements to B2B sites, get responses from the response mailboxes of the concerned site, respond to them with a predefined response.

Also, it will search the concerned sites for a keyword/search criteria given by human and add all results (companies, people) to the database and if required, send them a pre-determined message.

All correspondence to be saved in local database and removed from the remote site.
