how to add another email address to receive certbot notifications?

certbot --version
certbot 1.11.0

I think with this

certbot update_account -m "original@email.com,new@email.com"

You list all of them not just the new one

Do I need to add the original email ID? How to list which email ID is associated with certbot?
certbot update_account -m "original@email.com,new@email.com"

It's not associated with Certbot, but with the ACME account on the ACME server (which is entirely different).

Certbot has the show_account subcommand to see some info about the ACME account (from the ACME server) associated with account configured in Certbot.

Sorry this command doesn't work on my instance
certbot --version
certbot 1.11.0
certbot show_account
usage:
certbot [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d DOMAIN] [-d DOMAIN] ...

Certbot can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates. By default,
it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining and installing the
certificate.
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: show_account

It was introduced in Certbot 1.23.0. Certbot currently at 3.1.0. Please update your Certbot.

Can you help me with the command to upgrade certbot on my rhel machine? I couldn't find it any. Appreciate your help on this. Thanks!

The Certbot team currently advises to use snap to install Certbot, see Certbot Instructions | Certbot (change "Other" to something else if applicable).

I don't know if RHEL somehow has a newer Certbot in their repo (EPEL? I dunno..), but best bet is to use snap if possible. Otherwise perhaps the pip method could be used to get an up to date version, but that's a little bit more difficult to manage, as it doesn't support automatical updates and should always be used in a venv, see the Certbot site linked above, it also contains a "Linux (pip)" method.

Well, that's new.. :confused:

They might have wanted to announce that in API Announcements - Let's Encrypt Community Support too.. @mcpherrinm? Did I miss an announcement somewhere? :astonished:

Guess I have to set up that cronjob after all :rofl:

Not that I complain about the decision: I understand all of them (except the privacy bit a little bit less: it's opt-in, just as the newsletter you can still choose to opt-in for). Also, we won't get any "Why am I getting this email even though I renewed?!?!?!" threads any longer, woohoo!

Communications are in process of going out now. We'll have a forum announcement up shortly, and some emails are going to go out.
