Invalid renew emails?

[duglin]

My domain is: soaphub.org

I’m getting emails saying that my cert for this domain will expire in 10 days but when I try to run certbot (for new certs, or to renew) it says nothing need to be done.

From looking at: Renew email alert it might be ok to ignore the emails, but is it possible to verify that the email is being sent in error? When I hit the site and look at the cert shown in the browser it says it expires in Dec - so maybe all is well. yes?

Hi @duglin,

@duglin

My domain is: soaphub.org

this is simple: See your active certificates:

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates?cert_search_auth=&cert_search_cert=&cert_search=include_expired:false;include_subdomains:false;domain:soaphub.org&lu=cert_search

You are using the certificate with four domain names:

DNS-Name: soaphub.org
DNS-Name: srcdog.com
DNS-Name: www.soaphub.org
DNS-Name: www.srcdog.com

created yesterday, valid 2018-12-22.

But there are older certificates with one and two domain names.

If there is a certificate with a set of domain names and without a newer certificate -> a mail is sent.

But you don't need these certificates, so you don't need to renew them.

Conclusion: Ignore these mails.
