We update our virus detection every day before we send out any emails.
This diligence means our mail server has not been infected with a virus to date.

 If you are new to email, you may not be aware that the senders email address is not authenticated by most email systems, this is why SPAM email is so hard to police, when you send an email you can set the reply address to anything you like. If you don't believe us try changing your reply address and sending an email to yourself - Shocking isn't it.
It is easy to send an email with a completely false senders address.

Recently there have a been a number of new virus's that propagate by sending emails out at random to everybody in the infected computers address book, and to complicate matters they are generating a random "sent from" email address's, so that people receiving them think they are from another source.

To make things worse, most home users don't know they are infected so they keep on doing it, they may send out hundreds of emails with an email address's apparently from a lot of organisations of a similar class. For example - if the infected computer is owned by a somebody who has an interest in playing golf, you might get a a lot of emails from lots of golf clubs you have never heard off.

So even if the reply address is ???@norfolkcoast.co.uk it does NOT mean we sent IT.

We have received emails apparently from ourselves containing a virus, and from many other well known organisations.
It is a very sad fact that the only way to ensure you don't get infected with a virus is to ensure you protect yourself adequately. Its a bit like real life, you cant blame anyone else for giving you virus, its your risk and your responsibility to protect yourself.
