I've tried to mail to their IR35 enquiry mail address for 3 days now

(IR35@inlandrevenue.gov.uk), but each time it bounces back with:-

The message could not be delivered because you do not have create permissions on this folder or it is only available to folder owners at this time

The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=GB;a= ;p=HG

Someone's screwed up their MS-Exchange server, and they most likely haven't any idea, nor how to fix it.

So Tony Blair and Dawn says the government and IR are Internet friendly?, some joke!!

Looks like they might want to relax the IR35 rules so that some of us hang around in the UK long enough to fix the mess they are in.

Cheers sav.
