During an RSP->RSP transfer of a domain that has over 9 years on it, our system will move the domain to the new RSP account, attempt the renewal (which fails) and refund the money to the paying RSP (since funds are placed on hold, and the transaction does not complete from a billing perspective). That's the best we can do.
SO - if you all want free RSP->RSP transfers, simply renew all your domains so they've got 9+ years on them, and transfer away ;) Charles Daminato OpenSRS Product Manager Tucows Inc. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Dave Warren > Sent: June 23, 2002 4:52 PM > To: David Delbridge; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Question: Maxing Out a Renewal > > > David Delbridge wrote: > > If I use the Reseller Interface to renew a domain name beyond the > > maximum 10 years, what will happen?
