I have a particular web development and emailing problem that I’m offering one or several developers £40 each to tell me what their solution would be. The £40 would be for you to document your solution (not in great detail, but sufficient detail so the solution is explained – a one pager would be fine).
Here is the problem:
I want to add website enquiry forms to one of my client’s websites where they, as the website owner, are never able to see the enquirer’s email address, but yet the website owner is still able to reply by email to the enquirer.
Broken down in more detail:
• The client’s website will have enquiry forms on it, each with a mandatory email field, a mandatory comments field and an optional telephone field.
• Then when the enquirer submits the enquiry form, the form submits to the website owner BUT before the form data arrives with the website owner, the email address of the enquirer has been changed/encrypted so the website owner cannot read it.
• However, the website owner must still be able to send an email back to the changed/encrypted email, AND the website visitor receives the email to their real address successfully.
What I’m looking for is an end result where:
The enquirer’s email address has never been seen by the website owner, AND the website owner is still able to send an email to the website visitor.
The solution to this problem would need to be:
1) Secure and unhackable
2) As simple as is possible without compromising security
3) Automated, 100% reliable – works every time without fail.
My limited knowledge leads me to think that that the submitted form would have to be sent to a central database, where the email was auto-replaced with a changed/encrypted email address that is then sent to the website owner. When the website owner then replies to this changed/encrypted email, their reply also goes via the central database that replaces the changed/encrypted email with the website visitor’s genuine email. This may or may not be the answer, but if it is, I’d need it fleshing out so the basic mechanics and requirements were documented by you.
The solution shouldn’t require the enquirer to ‘do anything’ when they are filling out the form. To the enquirer, the form should work just like any other web form. The website owner, however, will obviously know that the email they are replying to is not the enquirer’s original email.
--------------
As mentioned, at this stage, I am offering £40 for one or several different developers to each document (in fairly plain English) how this problem would be best tackled. If your bid could just give me enough information for me to be able to decide whether to accept your bid, that would be ideal.
The chosen solution would then be implemented by the developer who suggested it, and I’d then be asking for you to quote separately to undertake this work.
Any questions, please let me know, I’m on hand to answer...
