The link's destination URL starts with
"https://encrypt.barracudanetworks.com/login?nid=";.
The rest is a very long alpha-numeric string.
If you're not expecting this message, I expect that it's going to be
some kind of scam message. However, as for safety, if I'm curious, I
will take the hostname of the url and use Firefox private mode to check
it. In this case, "https://encrypt.barracudanetworks.com";. It appears
to be a messaging system, so I assume that the site is "ok". Try
loading the url, again in private mode and see what happens. It is
extremely unlikely that going to a website using Firefox on Fedora is
going to harm your system. Just of course be wary of entering
information unless you're very sure of the site you're on.
I'm using Thunderbird on Fedora-28; there is no "anti-virus" available.
Is this safe?
I've never found "anti-virus" to have any use on a Linux system other
than a way to use up CPU time. I've personally never used it or
installed it on any systems I have setup for other people and there have
never been any issues in the more than 20 years I've been doing this.
People that I know have tried using it have generally disabled it
because it's annoying and a CPU hog. It has the same effect on Windows
systems, but there it appears to be useful.
