This site says Oct 24. I recall Oct 1. Maybe it was pushed back. Yes for those of us that don't do e-commerce or something that requires encryption, this is a PITA. For my email, I had to accept the new cert, which would be the case if I used a traditional cert provider. But letsencrypt is talking about going to monthly updates. Supposedly Google is going to make a big stink in the chrome browser if you don't do encryption. Your perfectly safe website will look toxic. First world problem! Grumble grumble. Anyway it was a forehead slap to restart the email programs, hence the PSA. I had to restart nginx as well. All this makes sense since you never know what the programmer holds in ram, so of course if you make a change, do a reload.
