auto_renew doesn't do what you think it does. auto_renew=1 automatically renews the domain shortly before expiration. auto_renew=0 means that you will manually renew the domain. The option to turn off OpenSRS' renewal notices is in the RWI under "Renewal Management" / "Configure daily end user renewal reminder email". Note that OpenSRS is required by ICANN/registry contract to sent one renewal notice, so you cannot turn off the 5 days before expiry message. Regards, Bill
