I just got an email error because it was time to reprovision all of my letsencrypt certs for the first time:
* Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix

A TLS certificate was successfully installed for [redacted].
TLS certificates could not be provisoned for:
example.com: The domain's DNS is pointed elsewhere, so there is no point to installing a TLS certificate here and we could not automatically provision one anyway because provisioning requires access to the website (which isn't here).

Well, yeah, the domain’s DNS is pointed elsewhere so you can’t provision a cert for it. I know that already because I set it up like that!
It would be more useful not to tell me about issues like that, but in the grand scheme of things I understand this message is once every few months and is likely triggered by an exit code.
