This is not sent to the OpenSRS system, you must configure your scripts to
gather and send this information to you, from your servers, in a manner that
you feel is secure.

There are examples included in that section; you can also use the client
code to send emails which is more customizable (check out message.txt and
thankyou.txt in the templates directories)

Currently we are only offering pre-registrations for .name; full
registrations will not be available until after march, at which time we will
be releasing newer, updated client code (you may only need to integrate the
new pieces)

The IP address is gathered (it's sent as part of the XML stream upon
ordering); you can extract this with a little programming to gather that
data.
