Time to renew website cert?

Abrowser says trisquel.info's cert for https expired today. Had to accept the risk to get here.
Maybe not fixed completely ...
Today I tried to install whois, but the download stalled.
Thinking that it was a problem with the terminal, I tried installing
a different terminal. When that also stalled, I realized it was the
trisquel mirror, so I changed the Software & Updates source from
mirror.fsf.org to ocf.berkeley.edu/trisquel, whereupon whois was
downloaded promptly.

Be careful. There are scammers trying to fool us.
I got one from 68.232.143.151 (dig -x resolves that IPv4 to esa2.spamcop.iphmx.com).
(envelope-from <name at domain>) Lots of detail; seemed official until I looked
at the headers.
It started out like this:
AutoSSL did not renew the certificate for “amenex.com”.
Try a Google search on "esa2.spamcop.iphmx.com" and you'll see a long history
of scams.

I couldn't really verify that but see:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/email-security-appliance/213938-understanding-the-ces-spf-record.pdf
says, "Note: The domain iphmx.com is managed by Cisco. Because of that, only Cisco can add/remove/modify DNS records for that domain like the record above." It looks like esa2.spamcop.iphmx.com is a server providing services for Cisco's "Cisco Cloud Email Security."
>AutoSSL did not renew the certificate for “amenex.com”.
You can see they have 'retired', https://amenex.com/.

Looks like that mirror should be OK now.
I have also experienced outages with mirrors in the past. It always gets resolved. Maybe the server was down for maintenance or something.
Thanks to Geshmy for the analytical comments.
A further explanation is in order. After my last subscription renewal to the spamcop.net
spam-referral services, those services were abruptly cancelled. No refund, but years later
when I complained of tiresome forwarding of spammacious replies to old reports, they
graciously stopped that procedure.
Nowadays, every so often I get spam tenaciously related to spamcop.net that has a forged
addressee of name at domain, which I dare not block, as that was my principal address
at the now-liquidated company that I served in with a business partner for 31 years. The
amenex.com domain name, all that's now remaining, was folded into my principal domain
to protect it from malicious domain squatters. It's now a honey pot for old spamcop.net
spam that was initiated by my overzealous reporting of spam to the sources' webmasters.
The real Cpanel website is quite satisfied with amenex.com's secure status.
