Ending Support for Expiration Notification Emails
letsencrypt.org
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.

I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

      Fullchain.pem works. Privkey doesn’t. I’ve tried chmod 777 (yes, I know, just testing) and still can’t access the file.

        Whole path has to be accessible, not just the file itself. All dirs above the file need to have the executable bit set that affects the user accessing the file.
