I've noticed when I visit register.com and check on a domain name...that
minutes after I signoff their site, I receive an email from their support
team indicating they new I was at their site and wanted to follow up to see
if I had any questions.

What is this tracking/auto-reply technology and how can I get it for my web
site?
 
Google: "auto responder" and also select Google's suggested: autoresponder
option.

Using auto responders is a method to send automatic messages using e-mail as
the transport mechanism noting 'your' intended use will function similarly
but you will need somebody to script for you in all likelyhood. The point
being, how would your website know who to send mail to if the user was not
logged in to identify to whom the mail should be sent and secondly, what
mechanism triggers sending the message?

I used ASP to write a mail merge application that required some of these
functions. The body of the message was modified dynamically depending on
which criteria was met while the user actually used the webpage(s). If your
in business and need assistance you may want to discuss this further.

More than likely you are a registered used for the site and
they have your email from the registration process. When
you went to the website you were logged in and a session was
created. When the session ended (either by log off or
expiration), a web application cross referenced your leaving
the site and your registration and sent you the email

This type of application would require custom scripting
