The program is spelled "Cyberspyder." It writes reports to 
HTML files, but does not automatically forward them to 
anyone. Cyberspyder is produced by Aman software:

You may also want to consider Linkbot:

... or Infolink Link Checker:

http://www.biggbyte.com/

both of these check URL types in addition to HTTP. 
Cyberspyder, at least in the trial we are testing, checks 
only http:// links.
