Ending Support for Expiration Notification Emails
letsencrypt.org
Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us. We will be ending this service on June 4, 2025. The decision to end this service is the result of the following factors: Over the past 10 years more and more of our subscribers have been able to put reliable automation into place for certificate renewal. Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records.

I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

    Transactional email services are about $15 per 10,000 emails. I’ll round down to $10 to consider b2b deals and let’s just say it’s $10,000 per year. That would be like idk 84k emails a month.

    Keep in mind this doesn’t consider the DB hosting and the processing of expiring emails and salaries, so yeah, I could see it.

    Edit: before anyone yells at me. I can’t math.

      Not yelling, but pointing out, to people who also dont math, that if we assume $10 per 10k emails (or $1 per 1k, for simpler math), that’d be $84 for 84000 emails in a month, so you need to add another 0 to the figure (ie 840k emails in a month)
