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).
