Sectigo (Comodo) shutting down free S/MIME - alternative?

lemon

Just recieved this mail

Sad, I used that service for a few years now.. Anyone knows if there's an alternative (free of course cause I'm a cheapass)

None of those are MIME certificates.

S/MIME certs != SSL certs. They contain different metadata and validate different things.

Don't use S/MIME certs but quick google search

• https://www.secorio.com/en/order?id=148 (Comodo backed so not sure how long they'd last considering Sectigo = Comodo)
• https://www.actalis.it/products/certificates-for-secure-electronic-mail.aspx

Well, looks like I mixed something up. I knew comodo free smime certs went to secorio, but as I got that mail, I've mistaken it with sectigo with secorio. So I guess I'll just continue using secorio.
