Email Approval
Email approval is a simple but manual way to approve a certificate. When purchasing a certificate, you select from a list of acceptable administrative email addresses, and follow a link in an email sent to that address.
Note that approval emails are not sent from SSLMate, but from our CA provider.
For Sectigo certificates, the email is sent from noreply_support@trust-provider.com.
The SSLMate for SaaS service does not support email approval.
Acceptable administrative addresses
Any of the following mailboxes at the hostname in the certificate or one of its parent domains:
admin@administrator@hostmaster@postmaster@webmaster@
For example, if the certificate's hostname is www.subdomain.example.com, then admin@example.com, admin@subdomain.example.com, and admin@www.subdomain.example.com would be among the acceptable addresses.
Resending the approval email
If you don't receive an approval email because of a momentary problem with your email address,
you can ask SSLMate to resend the approval email by running sslmate retry-approval
HOSTNAME.
To resend the approval email to a different address, use sslmate edit
as follows: sslmate edit HOSTNAME --email=ADDRESS.
ADDRESS must be one of the acceptable addresses listed above.
