In a way, yes. What I really need is a way to turn off any and all renewal
notices being sent by OpenSRS. I could leave it on "Normal Notifications", but
that will still cause an email to be sent at 5 days prior to the domain
expiring. Setting the domain to "Let expire" (according to the docs at least)
will stop all emails being sent.

That's why I said we had our own system setup for renewal notices, and the
explanation that we don't always want to send out emails. Some of our customers
have 20-30 domains, and don't want to be flooded with renewal notices. Rather we
invoice them manually, all in one go.

Yeah, but if I could set it when calling sw_register, it'd make things less
complicated :)
