Is there any port which provides a functionality like this? Or is it

Thanks Wojciech.
Actually, I am setting this up just for my use. (Place I work doesn't
allow downloads, and sometimes I need to download a thing or two, so
thought let me set something like this up for my own use). But your points

a) someone will use it as spamming machine, writing advert as image, and
sending it through your service to 100000 users (using your bandwidth) by
using robot that will 100000 times request to send an URL to mail.
b) someone else will be trying to overload your service requesting to mail
lots of huge files many times (limit total size+size of one file)
you must do something like "captcha" or at least - first sending mail without
attachment like this
- Someone - possibly you - requested to download and send such files:
URL list here
to your mail.
if it's you, jest use reply with this code: <unique code here>
