Do you mean a gopher server accessible via gophermail?

I used to have one, but then had to close it because of massive spam abuse.

Honestly, I didn't think that anyone would ever use such a server except 
for gopher experiments, but if someone is interested I can try to open 
it once more sometimes... (in fact, gophermail queries are mostly 
predictable and creating a spam filter should be quite easy)
