@martgil I'm attempting to send an encrypted message via the encrypted contact page to [email protected] for a UI test, but it's throwing the following error.

Could you check the error log and let me know what's causing this? This issue is currently blocking me from implementing the UI test for this fix.

Hi @ioanmo226 could be because of expired key most probably.

To verify this claim of mine, please kindly run this public key to the flowcrypt browser extension's compatibility checker: https://flowcrypt.com/pub/[email protected]?show=pubkey

The openpgp compatibility checker is in the advanced settings of FlowCrypt settings > experimental.

Observe if the keys are expired (most probably).

Once confirmed, please extend the keys expiration and submit the updated keys to https://flowcrypt.com/attester/update-public-keys

I have the PR on flowcrypt-web for fixing the missing error message details for expired keys and is already under review by Roma.

Hope this helps.

[ioanmo226]

Hmmmm... Just checked but I think it's not expired yet?

[martgil]

The issue looks like something else. The key doesnt look expired either. Unfortunately, I dont have access to my computer right now to check the issue but can check it tomorrow if its okay?

[ioanmo226]

No problem at all. I can work on other issue.

[martgil]

Got it - thanks!

Hi @ioanmo226, mentioned error happens because our config doesn't allow senders from flowcrypt.com domain:

To send encrypted message you should just change email address to non-flowcrypt domain.

[ioanmo226]

Aha, I see. Thank for checking it.

[ioanmo226]

However I think we should display actual error message response.error.message (Senders on flowcrypt.com domain not allowed) instead of "Server says this was a bad request" generic error message

[martgil]

Hi @ioanmo226 - yes, I will include this case to my PR right now: https://github.com/FlowCrypt/flowcrypt-web/pull/1856

[martgil]

I'm done at adding some error handling for the reported issue; Already included in https://github.com/FlowCrypt/flowcrypt-web/pull/1856.
