I am no longer receiving email notifications about cert expiration. Updating manually using getssl. Have 3 sites currently.

So, nothing doing? From the docs: “If you provide an email address to Let’s Encrypt when you create your account, we’ll automatically send you expiry notices when your certificate is coming up for renewal.” Just what does that mean? When I created the account to access, for instance, this site? …

Thanks. So how do I tickle the fancy of this notion? I’m using getssl script to do the dirty work for me and have added an email address in the getssl.cfg file. Re ran one renewal yesterday after that as previously suggested. But only thought to actually install that cert today. How can I test …

@Phil are you able to look this up? My recollection is that there’s no way for end users to check via an API.

@ezekiel or @jillian Could either of you check this please?

The “account” (as described by @schoen ) used to renew the domain listed above does NOT have an email contact set. Thinking of options here… if getssl doesn’t include the functionality to change the registration contact, you might be able to use a client that does, or submit a bug with getssl?

That may be a great clue. In prior cert generations the account email was commented out. I have since entered one and thought I had run the script again with option to renew without regard to expiration. Perhaps I should do that again and someone could re-check, if there is no way for me to check…

The way getssl is written, it is incapable of adding an email once the ACCOUNT_KEY already exists. Renewal won’t help, even if you add an ACCOUNT_EMAIL. If you change both ACCOUNT_KEY and ACCOUNT_EMAIL in one go, and then renew a certificate, your new certificate should be attached to an email addr…

The certificate itself is not really important, the “account” is the important part. Generating/renewing certificates will not inherently tell the API about your contact information, your client needs to support the functionality, as Certbot does.

@_az OK, thanks. I did drop a comment over at github, just now. Perhaps they might look into adding that functionality. I’ll give your observations a work out pretty soon.
