Re: SV: sending emails to customers

This procedure is imporant part of Fred processes. It automates lot of things. According to fred-admin --help it's just shortcut for list of other things: --object_regular_procedure shortcut for 2x update_object_states, notify_state changes, poll_create_statechanges , object_delete_candidates, poll_create_low_credit, notify_letters_create --update_object_states - This command update state of objects - it compares actual time, expiration dates on domains, last usage dates on contact and nssets and mark those object with flags like (expired, ouzone, deleteCandidate...). It's called twice to catch race condition - if somebody should renew domain during this procedure. It's state is reverted back in second run. Domains with 'outzone' state are not generation into zone dile --notify_state_changes - Go through objects and find states that should be followed by client notification. For those object/state combinations send email to object owner. For example registrants are this way notified about approaching expiration, about getting outzone, about deleting of object...etc --poll_create_statechanges - Similar to previous but this way registrars are informed using 'poll messages' mechanism. New message is created in system and registrars can download this message using poll EPP command. --object_delete_candidates - All objects marked by state deleteCandidate are deleted. Domains get this state 45 days after expiration date. Contact and NSSets get this state after six months of not using them. --poll_create_low_credit - Special check for credit of registrars. If credit of registrar fall under some configured limit. New poll message is created for this registrar with information that credit is low. --notify_letters_create - Few weeks before deleteing of domain we send regular paper letter to registrant with information that his domain is really going to be deleted. This procedure generates PDF document with those letters. Our staff download this PDF file using web administration interface, print it on printer, put it into envelopes and send it. We call this procedure each day at 2pm from cron script. Regards Jaromir Petur Kirke píše v St 11. 02. 2009 v 15:40 +0000:
