Subject: Let's Encrypt Closed Beta Invite

Greetings from Let's Encrypt, drew@pdp7.com.

Thank you for your interest in our beta program! We're excited to let you know that your domains (below) have been whitelisted, and you can now utilize an ACME client to obtain a certificate for them.
Quick Start

To use Let's Encrypt's official client to obtain your real certificates, you will need to provide the production API URL on the command line:

  https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

When running the Python client (installation directions [1]), be sure to specify the --server argument with the production URL:

  git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
  cd letsencrypt
  ./letsencrypt-auto --agree-dev-preview --server \
      https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory auth

If you are using a different ACME client, be sure to configure it to use the production URL in order to get valid certificates. Many clients will default to the staging URL.
Known Issues

There are some known issues with the official Python client posted here: https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt/wiki/Known-issues

Installation instructions worked OK problem for Debian 8 (Jessie) server on DigitalOcean with Apache2
