I am absolutely and positively opposed to anyone else sending an email
message with my or my company's email address listed as the From: address!
I understand OpenSRS has to have a procedure in place for the direct
notification of domain name registrants before the expiration (or at least
before the deletion) of their domains. But hopefully any email generated
will include enough information to determine its origin and purpose.
(One thing I dislike about Paypal is that the payment notices appear to be
sent by the party making the payment.)
In the case you mentioned, I think if the customer wants you to expire the
domain, maybe you should ask him for the password and change the contact
email addresses so he is not bothered further.
