After processing your operation the Automaton produces and sends an automated reply. If there is a problem with the operation then two different error condition may occur
All operations may succeed but generate non-fatal errors (warning messages). These indicate errors in the initial operation that should be addressed in further operations. If such errors occur then a section will be appended to the reply template above explaining what these errors were. An example of such a section is as follows
Note that the following NON-FATAL errors occurred
during the processing of the request
Ignoring superfluous glue record for NS1.AUTOMATON-EXAMPLE.ORG.UK.
Ignoring superfluous glue record for NS2.AUTOMATON-EXAMPLE.ORG.UK.
| Warning | Description |
| Line '[Ignored_Line]' ignored | A line within the body of the e-mail that does not look like it should be there. [Ignored_Line] is replaced with the first 20 characters of the line. |
| [Field] field ignored | A deprecated field has been used which does not do anything and so has been ignored. |
| You are within [Percent]% of your credit limit. The calculation takes into account your current outstanding balance, plus any new registrations and renewals which have been made during the current month. If you anticipate that you will exceed your current credit limit before you make your next payment, please contact your Credit Controller to place an amount of money on your account or to pay any overdue invoices. This will avoid the suspension of your tag(s). | Returned when the tag holder is within 25% of their credit limit. [Percent] is replaced with their actual percentage. |
| Tag in Subject '[Subject]' ignored - PGP signatory '[PGP_Tag]' used instead | The tag given in the subject line does not match that of the PGP signature. [Subject] is replaced with the original subject line and [PGP_Tag] is replaced with the tag name taken from the PGP signature. |
| Text outside of the PGP armoury was ignored | There was some text in the original operation that was outside of the PGP armoury (the area that is signed by PGP). This text was ignored. |
| Ignoring superfluous glue record for [Nameserver] | An IP address was specified for a nameserver when this was unnecessary and so was ignored. [Nameserver] is replaced with the nameserver for which this was specified. |
| Reg-type set to LTD | This is done if we have an operation for a .ltd.uk domain name and reg-type is not set in the request. |
| Reg-type set to PLC | This is done if we have an operation for a .plc.uk domain name and reg-type is not set in the request. |
| Tag in email body '[Body_Tag]' ignored - PGP signatory '[PGP_Tag]' used instead. | This is if an 'ips-key' field is included in an operation and it does not match the tag taken from the PGP signature. |
