Hmmm, maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the easiest solution to
simply remove this restriction completely and allow customer logins until
the domain is actually deleted? I don't see the point of preventing
people from logging in.
If the goal is to prevent people from getting 40 days of free service,
maybe a future version of the scripts could prevent people from doing
anything except renewing when it's in that state -- but even that seems
like extra work for no big gain. If people really care enough about their
domain that they're trying to make last-minute changes, they're probably
going to renew it.
So, why not just remove the "no login" restriction? What am I missing?
