LetsEncypt error: "detail": "Error creating new account :: not a valid e-mail address

Hi all,

I'm having troubles renewing a LetsEncrypt certificate, and I have no idea why.

The error i'm getting is this:

Code:
Cannot Execute Your Request

Details

Generating 4096 bit RSA key for let's encrypt account...
openssl genrsa 4096 > "/usr/local/directadmin/conf/letsencrypt.key"

"type": "urn:ietf:params:acme:error:invalidEmail",
"detail": "Error creating new account :: not a valid e-mail address",
"status": 400
}.

"build" reports nothing to update, and as far as i can tell, everything is updated:

Code:
Latest version of Let's Encrypt client: 1.1.11
Installed version of Let's Encrypt client: 1.1.11

Latest version of DirectAdmin: 1.54.1
Installed version of DirectAdmin: 1.54.1

I've extensively searched the forums, but none of the reported similar problems provided a fix. Does anybody have a clue as to what I might be missing?
 
Please go to /CMD_SHOW_USER?user=admin (edit admin user) and see if you have a valid email address set there.
 
Thank you, @smtalk!

There was indeed no proper e-mail set for 'admin'. After i've set it, it works smoothly again.

Have a nice day!
