When you request a registrar change via the automaton RELEASE operation and the new registrar requires a handshake before accepting domain names onto their tag, we will send them a Registrar change authorisation request.

If they reject the domain name onto their tag, a PGP signed message is sent from the automaton to the requesting registrar's notification address to inform them that the registrar change has not been done.

The format of the body of the message is as follows:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The following message was sent from the Automaton:

THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.

Your request to release the 4 domain names

automaton-example1.co.uk
automaton-example2.co.uk
automaton-example3.co.uk
automaton-example4.co.uk

to the tag

EXAMPLE-TAG

has not been accepted by that tag. The domain names have not been transferred and 
remain upon your tag.

Regards

Nominet
