Summary0000367: e-mail contact via contact formular on www.cacert.org to find assurer seems not to be working
DescriptionDear CAcert support,

I wonder if the sending of e-mails to an assurer via the contact formular on www.cacert.org can have problems.

Over the past month I tried to contact about 10 assurers in Vienna/Austria, but got not one answer. I doubt that none of the contacted assurers was interested in assuring me.

Yesterday (27.11.2006, around 10 pm MEZ) I used the contact formular again
(https://www.cacert.org/wot.php?id=9&userid=63990) to test it with an assurer whom I could contact directly via his published contact information. I met him today and he also told me that he did not receive anything.

thanks
Martin

We found out that one of the mailservers refused the wrongly encoded SMTP Subject, which contained Latin1/UTF8. PHP´s mail() function does not encode it correctly.

This function solves the problem, and correctly encodes the Subject when necessary:

function encode_utf8($string)
{
  $text = '=?UTF-8?q?';
  $needed=0;
  for( $i = 0 ; $i < strlen($string) ; $i++ )
  {
    $val = ord($string[$i]);
    if($val > 127 or $val == 63)
    {
      $needed=1;
      $val = dechex($val);
      $text .= '='.$val;
    }
    else
    {
       $text .= $string[$i];
    }
  }
  $text .= '?=';
  return ($needed?$text:$string);
}

How long will it take to resolve this? I also have the problem, that I cannot contact assurers.
