Hello I got a email saying that I needed to add some IP addresses to our ACL. Within the email, I there are a couple links and one of the links is flagged as malicious according to my antivirus. Could some tell me if this is a legit email or not? Here is the email below
As a reminder, communicated through email in the first week of December 2020, PayPal is expanding the Instant Payments Notification (IPN) infrastructure used to notify merchants about events related to the status of PayPal transactions. This change has added seven new IP addresses from which IPNs are being sent since January 18, 2021.
Below are all of the IP addresses that are being used for IPN.
If you are implementing any Access Control List (ACL) or filters on IP addresses for the IPNs received from PayPal, we request that you add all the aforementioned IP addresses before May 3, 2021.
Doing so will help avoid missing IPNs from PayPal. If you have any further questions about this migration activity, please feel free to reach out to Merchant Technical Support (www.paypal-techsupport.com).
Thank you,
PayPal

I received the same email, however, I don't even have IPN enabled in my account. I wouldn't have the faintest idea of where to add the IP addresses PP sent me, anyway.
