Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

Hello @milnerjames,

You are serving a certificate here https://decoder.link/sslchecker/www.mailtonumb.site/443 that only has the Domain Name mailtonumb.site in the SANs, however your DNS in addition has A Record for www.mailtonumb.site and that name is not on certificate being served.
