Besides that: How do you make sure (legally) that any of your e-mails really got through?
Quite a challenge to send an E-Mail to a domain with non-existent NS and therefor no MX RRs... Or does switch give me a call? Or maybe you send a telegram?
AFAIK, the mails are sent immediately before inactivating the domain. (They already do that for domains they delete (late payments etc.), so we can clean out our DNSs)
There was a recent event at the SWITCH HQ, where all this was discussed. SWITCH basically promised not to "rush" anything. If the ISP vetos a deactivation (e.g. because it's a subdomain of his main domain), the process is supposed to stop at that point. The idea is to remove the "ignorants" only, as each case is looked at specifically and individually. SWITCH only works 9-5-5, so the 24h period is really "next business day".
The process was tried out a couple of months ago.
That's what I took home from the event. Mis-handling of individual cases is still possible, of course ;-)
