LetsEncrypt – Expiration Notification Service Has Ended

A company like Postmark should have just given them a free account on the condition they mentioned them at the bottom of emails or something

It's a valuable service for the average person to get these emails without having to set up separate monitoring

A free account for sending emails would not have changed the decision because it doesn't solve this:

"Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records. As an organization that values privacy, removing this requirement is important to us."

Now there is no contact information associated with issuance records.

If they're that worried about having some random email associated, then perhaps they shouldn't also publish all certs they cut for domains?

Publishing all SSL certs for domains is kind of worse than some random email.
