Introduction
The PII_EMAIL_E6D3AC3 is a flaw in the design of the Email Address Validation (EAV) process that is used to validate addresses entered into web forms. The flaw allows an attacker to bypass the EAV process and inject arbitrary email addresses into the web form, which can then be used to send spam or phishing emails.
There are two ways to fix the PII_EMAIL_E6D3AC3 flaw:
1. Use a different email address validation process that does not have the flaw.
2. Modify the existing email address validation process to correct the flaw.
The first option is the preferred solution, as it is simpler and more robust. However, if you are unable to switch to a different email address validation process, then you can try option two. Please note that option two is not guaranteed to work, and it may introduce other security risks.
To modify the existing email address validation process, you need to add a new check that verifies that the “to” address in an email is valid before allowing the email to be sent. This new check can be added by editing the source code of your web application or by using a third-party library such as Anti-Spam by CleanEmail (https://github.com/clean-email/antispam).
Once you have added the new check, test it thoroughly to make sure that it does not break any legitimate functionality in your application.
What is PII_EMAIL_E6D3AC3?
PII_EMAIL_E6D3AC3 is an error that can occur when sending or receiving emails in Outlook. The error is caused by a problem with the way Outlook handles certain email addresses. When this error occurs, it can prevent emails from being sent or received, and can also cause outlook to crash.
There are a few different ways to fix this error, depending on the cause. One common way to fix it is to simply delete the email address that is causing the problem and then add it back into Outlook. Another way to fix it is to change the way Outlook handles email addresses containing certain characters.
If you are still having trouble after trying these methods, you can try using a different email program altogether. Many people find that using a web-based email service such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail works better with Outlook than using the built-in email program.
