Let’s Encrypt will halt certificate expiration emails from June 2025
It says most users have automated renewals anyway
Move will also see organization will delete millions of email addresses from its database
Let’s Encrypt has revealed it will no longer notify website administrators when their SSL/TLS certificates are about to expire. While this sounds like trouble – it actually seems to be a good thing.
The news was confirmed by the company’s executive director and co-founder, Josh Aas, in a blog post noting email notifications will stop going out on June 4, 2025, citing four key reasons. The first one is that a growing majority of subscribers have automated certificate renewal, reliably, rendering the service somewhat obsolete.
