Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us. We will be ending this service on June 4, 2025. The decision to end this service is the result of the following factors:
Over the past 10 years more and more of our subscribers have been able to put reliable automation into place for certificate renewal.
Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records.
Yeah, but they don’t fall under “without any additional setup”, since the email was already provided to letsencrypt as part of the certificate request.
