Hello,

No Credit card information of any type is sent to OpenSRS. The
functionality as it stands in the reg_system.cgi will e-mail the
information to you, the RSP (via templates/reg_system/message.txt).

If you don't want credit card information or validation:
1) Turn off validation in OpenSRS.conf
2) Remove the fields from the order.html/new_order.html templates
3) Remove the fields from message.txt

Personally, we stripped out all of the default cc information and replaced
it with our own real-time cc processing system.
