# Requests Related to the Message Queue

Introduction

RRI provides information in a message queue for RegAccs. The messages can be the direct result of a request (e.g. message type “ChprovAuthInfo” for a CHPROV request), be provided for a request after a delay (e.g. the “Expire” message type for a newly registered domain that was deleted after 30 days due to incorrect nameserver information) or DENIC creates a message based on a process (e.g. the “DomainDelete” message type, when a domain is deleted by DENIC's legal department).

Overview of Message Types

Message Type | Description
authInfo2Delete | Message about the deletion of an AuthInfo2 by DENIC because the letter with the AuthInfo2 password could not be delivered
authInfo2Notify | Message about the generation of an AuthInfo2.
authInfoExpire | Message about the expiry date of an AuthInfo1 and AuthInfo2 password.
chprovAuthInfo | In the case of a CHPROV request, the RegAcc from which a domain is moved receives a message about the successful move.
domainDelete | Message about a domain deletion carried out by DENIC's legal department.
expire | Message about the date on which the domain expired.
expireWarning | Message about the date on which a domain will expire. The message is sent one week before the expiration date.
contactDelete | Message listing the contact handle IDs for which the contact objects have been deleted due to expired retention periods.

Configuring Message Reception

The receipt of messages can be set in the RAI for a RegAcc profile. In the “MsgFeed” line, you can set:

- an be set in the RAI for a RegAcc profile. In the “MsgFeed” line, you can set:

- “rri”, in which case the messages must be read with QUEUE-READ and deleted from the message queue with QUEUE-DELETE, or

- “mail” to receive the messages automatically by e-mail. The e-mail address from the “Email” line is used for receipt.

  Notice |  | For technical reasons, the messages can also be called up briefly via QUEUE-READ in the message queue when the “mail” setting is selected. DENIC empties the message queue at regular intervals and sends the messages by e-mail. When using the “mail” setting, you should refrain from reading messages from the message queue in addition to receiving them automatically by e-mail. The response formats differ in their structure and mixing them could cause unwanted processing errors on the part of the RegAccs.

Automatic Email Reminder for older Messages in the Message Queue

- The RegAcc receives an automatic email reminder that there are messages in the message queue that are older than three days.

- The reminder is sent to the e-mail address stored in the “EMailTo” line from the RegAcc profile.

- The reminder is sent once a day if messages older than three days remain in the message queue.

Automatic deletion of Contact Data

- Contact data is automatically deleted after the retention periods have expired.

- The message queue and e-mail are used to inform me of the deletions using the message type “contactDelete”.

- Several contact deletions can be combined in a “contactDelete” message. A maximum of 100 contact handles can be specified in a “contactDelete” message for contacts that have been deleted.
