The click tracking service used in emails about security vulnerabilities seems to only be used on the donation link and is hosted at http://url7360.bugalert.org/. This domain, however is not available via HTTPS (at least not with a certificate that browsers will accept -- the domain names on the cert don't include url7360.bugalert.org). Further, if you manually accept that cert, the HTTPS connection will send an HSTS header, preventing further access to this domain (via HTTPS or otherwise).

Possible remedies include:

url7360.bugalert.org is maintained by SendGrid (CNAME) for link tracking stuff. Attempted to turn off link tracking entirely, but the notice still sent out with the tracking URL replacing the URL baked into the actual message template. Needs further investigation into how to disable.

Fixed in SendGrid
