Hi, I noticed this new error checking as well. While it is a good idea for new domains, I personally would prefer some kind of warning about any new error checking that's going to happen when the register routine is called from reg_system.cgi. All that checking should really be done during the verify routine. This gives the customer a chance to correct the errors before their card is charged. When the error checking doesn't happen until the register routine, it results in duplicate credit card charges, and much more confusion and frustration.
I'd just like a bit of warning so I can update my scripts to do the new error checking during the verify routine. You could even provide a patch for XML_Client.pm whenever you add new error checking so RSPs can easily update the verify routine before the changes become active.

Email address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' for owner contact can't be in the scope on new domain Email address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' for billing contact can't be in the scope on new domain Email address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' for tech contact can't be in the scope on new domain so the new system does not allow email address to be the same as the domain name... we have potentially several hundred domains a week going in - which worked untill now... so I assume it is the new-and-improved error checking - is there any way we can turn this off? perhaps an input type hidden field those of us who need it could employ?? Otherwise we are now faced with extra labour to have to go into several hundred domains per month and change the email address! also - is this error checking affecting domain transfers??? I can perhpas understand registry not wanting email address of domain that does not yet exist but on domain transfers [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be a valid email address for web-domain-123.com Genie Magi Inc
