Summary | 0000797: Email form on contact us page lacks format validation | ||||
Description | Currently the email form allows an individual to enter anything into the email field. If the email field only contains a username the mail transport agent will append it's default domain onto the email address assuming it is a local user. This should not happen. The email field should be validated to ensure it contains a correctly formatted email address at minimum. This basically means at least an @ and a period following that. We should try and check for the @. combo which may be used to pass that check. | ||||
Additional Information | Email addresses are typically a user@domain format. The domain is any valid domain out there. The user one is typically using ascii characters. Wikipedia shows the potential for internationalization in the future. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Email_Address_Internationalization | ||||

As the email address is not used in the course of the context of sending it to support. The contact mail is just used to send the mail to either the to support@c.o. or to cacert-support@l.c.o. The sender visible is a cacert address. The email address entered into the form is only visible within the mail body. It is up to the user answering to the request to verify that it is a valid email address. If the requestor enters a wrong email address he will not get an answer. |
