uninterupted service is also a responsibility of the re-seller, after all he has to make sure there is money in the account, a month is an awfully long time.
Moneywise it is the law of the big numbers that is applied here, and that is why i posted on it. Say you have 100 thousand autorenewals a month early, you would have about 10 thousand dollar extra intrest to toy around with and the reverse would go to, in other words if i had that many accounts i would lose that much in intrest would i keep the money invested sanely. (hey i am allowed to dream) it is the same reason banks keep the money overnight, the intrest alone on all accumulated accounts is enormous. seeing the margin, opensrs has on the sales, i do not think they would need to make it this way, and if the only way to stop it is my own renewalsystem either by routine or calendar, i think i would prefer that. I however would say that 1 -2 days prior to renewal date would be a fair date, to all concerned, giving time enough to add to the account if need be. abel wisman url dot org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Allan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "abel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Discuss-List@Opensrs.
