I second this. We also have had responses from customers who don't
understand that it's just an ICANN mandated thing that's sent to
everyone, even if they don't have fraudulent/inaccurate info.

It needs to be made clear that the message is merely a verification that
is sent to everyone who owns a domain name every year.

I added this info to our footer, but as I had guessed, people stop
reading after the "signature" part. OpenSRS, *please* remove the
signature from the middle of the message, or move the footer up before it.
