do i send an email from webmail opened on a terminal session, and sending eicar.com out in the world it will NOT trigger any of the
options witch are in the virus config file f.ex banext
Why ?
That's because in versions of IMail before v8, they set it up so that outgoing E-mail from web messaging would not get scanned. It is extremely rare, however, for outgoing web messaging E-mail to contain a virus (it can only happen if the sender has a virus on their computer, intentionally attaches a file, that happens to contain a virus, and it is an executable file).
If you have an on-access virus scanner scanning just the \IMail\spool directory (but not the subdirectories!), then the virus will get caught when it is uploaded (you'll need to double-check that your version of IMail stores the attachments in the \IMail\spool directory while they are being uploaded, however).
