    Are you Doing Enough To Keep Outside IR35 - Virus in email

    Just a heads up, got an email purporting to be from someone called "The Contractor Support Network" titled

    Are you Doing Enough To Keep Outside IR35?
    Which has send my emails virus scanning into overdrive and flagged as a virus.

    Best keep an eye out if you get one too
    Contracting is like plumbing. You're your own boss until you walk into someone's house and they tell you to take your shoes off.

      What mail server are you using? Gmail and O365 haven't let a single spam/phishing to my inbox in ages even on my "spam" address used to register on all kinds of dubious places.

        I host my own mail server, which flagged it as SPAM and I got the virus alert automatically from that

            Not a very clever thing to do these days... Gmail and Outlook365 both have far better AV and security ability than you. running your own server is just going to get you owned sooner or later. Especially if you are running an exchange service.

              Both gmail and outlook have let emails with attachments with viruses go into my inbox as recent as last week

                  No system is fool proof, which is why I thought I would share what I have found with others
