That's fine as a default behavior, but there needs to be a way for RSPs
or domain owners to prevent the OpenSRS message for a certain domain if
the RSP/domain owner knows that the domain should not be re-registered.
For example, we register domain names on the customer's behalf as part of
our Web hosting service. In at least one case, the customer has
specifically asked us to cancel the service and not renew the domain
name. We'll look pretty stupid if the ex-customer starts getting urgent
renewal notices (that appear to be from us) next year, with no way for us
to stop them coming.
Keep in mind that sending messages to a customer when the customer has
asked not to receive them may be a violation of some privacy policies, or
even laws.
Giving the RSP and/or domain owner the power to turn off renewal messages
when they would be inappropriate would seem to be a requirement.
