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. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is:
mail.kentekenflirten.nl
I ran this command:
certbot certonly --webroot --dry-run -w /var/www/html -d mail.kentekenflirten.nl
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Simulating a certificate request for mail.kentekenflirten.nl
Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to download the temporary challenge files created by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains serve their content from the provided --webroot-path/-w and that files created there can be downloaded from the internet.
Some challenges have failed.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

This error message seems pretty clear--the Let's Encrypt servers need to be able to connect to your server via HTTP on port 80 in order to validate that you own the domain. They'll follow redirects to HTTPS on port 443 (which you appear to have enabled), but you then need to have your web server listening there. Either you don't, or you have a firewall blocking that port.

ERROR
mail.kentekenflirten.nl has an AAAA (IPv6) record (2a0d:7c40:3000:ac9::2) but a test request to this address over port 80 did not succeed. Your web server must have at least one working IPv4 or IPv6 address. You should either ensure that validation requests to this domain succeed over IPv6, or remove its AAAA record.

thank you, i noticed that indeed the mail.kentekenflirten.nl IP6 address was not correct. I rectified that. the www is on another server, that seems to be ok.
i have rerun the debugtest, it came with an all ok now. The certificate was also succesfull implemented.
I don't follow.
LE failed to reach the IPv4 address.
[presumably after failing to reach the IPv6 address and falling back to IPv4]
You then fixed the IPv6 address and now "the problem is solved"?
I think you still have an unsolved problem - with the IPv4 access.
Even if not a problem for IPv6 visitors, it is still a problem for IPv4 only visitors.
Hi rg305,
Based on the first hint here I created a hello world page (mail.kentekenflirten.nl/test.html to test firewall function. That worked. So the IP4 was correct.
I then changed the IP6 in dns. that was the only change I did. The issue was resolved and the link Let's Debug provided no error. what error are you suggesting of thinking of that could still be in place?
I suppose there isn't much more to worry about then.
Even if an HTTP IPv4 problem does exist, you are not likely to be using HTTP for your SMTP server.
[except for obtaining a cert (and renewals)]
