We are setting up one of our domains for use with internal tools and want to use letsencrypt to issue certificates for them. However it seems that the domain is on the policy block list and certificate issuance is being rejected. Domain: ask.info Response we are getting when attempting to issue certificates: The ACME server refuses to issue a certificate for this domain name, because it is forbidden by policy How can we go about requesting that the domain be removed from the block list?

Hi, @richardmarshall, For this issue, please e-mail security@letsencrypt.org with your request. Thanks!

Note, for others receiving this same error message: we ask that you post here in the community forum first. Thank you!
