Let’s Encrypt to End Expiration Notification Emails by 2025
/ 1 min read
🔔 Let’s Encrypt to discontinue expiration notification emails by June 2025. The organization announced it will end its service of sending expiration notification emails to subscribers, citing increased automation among users for certificate renewal and a commitment to privacy by reducing the retention of email addresses. This decision, effective June 4, 2025, is also driven by the costs associated with the service and the complexity it adds to their infrastructure. Users who wish to continue receiving expiration notifications are encouraged to utilize third-party services like Red Sift Certificates Lite, which offers free monitoring for up to 250 certificates. Let’s Encrypt will still provide updates and news based on user preferences through other email communications.
