I created an app engine application that performs the same task as GVMax's autoresponder.
Basically it will send an SMS back to any person who sends you an SMS.
I did this app for a smoking cessation program and wanted it to be more reliable than GVMax.
In addition to what GVMax does, this app allows the admin to specify multiple SMS responses so if a client sends multiple SMSs he gets multiple different responses.
I will probably open source this aswell (like gvmax-post), but I still need to remove some stuff specific to the particular smoking cessation program I was working with.
ps: The app allows the admin to manage multiple numbers as well.

HTTP Post Service
GVMax has been a bit moody the last few weeks and the problem is probably related to GTalk notifications.
Since a lot of the new users use GVMax to perform an HTTP Post (mainly WM7 users) I decided to split that functionality out into a separate service .
To use it you will need to :
1- Forward your GV emails to gvmax@gvmax-post.appspotmail.com
2-Log into the service at https://gvmax-post.appspot.com and type in the HTTP Post URL you want to use.
I will probably provide an API for WM7 Phone developers so that they can do step 2 for there users automatically.
As for step 1, you create the gmail filter in the same way you would do in GVMax (if doing it manually (https://www.gvmax.com/filters)), but forward it to gvmax@gvmax-post.appspotmail.com instead.
This app runs wholly app engine it should be VERY reliable, since it does very little.
And by the way it is open source ( http://code.google.com/p/gvmax-post/ )
