Your customer or someone that receives their postal mail, sent in one of those DRoA solicitations. Enom sends domain transfer confirmations to all of the contacts listed in WHOIS for the domain. They refer you to their generic transfer approval site at http://www.transfer-approval.com/universal.asp (which pretends to be *the site* that processes all transfer approvals for ICANN). The URL in the messaqes contains a unique ID so they know which contact is responding. Two months ago, We started keeping track of Enom resellers that we get these confirmations from. Here is the list so far: Confirmed ENOM Resellers Company Name / From E-Mail / Website Domain Registry Group Inc. / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / droa.com Hosting Unlimited / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / hosting-unlimited.net Server Central / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / servercentral.net Name Cheap / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / NameCheap.com HostDime Domains / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / HostDimeDomains.com Black Bayou / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / ???.com If you customer insists they don't want to transfer to Enom and you have their permission, you can access that link and reject the transfer. Enom and/or the reseller will try to get an approval a few more times before giving up. But they do eventually give up.
