I was testing for the Bable.c virus to ensure that my scanners were picking it up. I sent an email with the virus from the Imail web client to my account on the same domain and it wasn't caught. Sending this email back to the same account from an outlook client caught the virus.
Is this normal?
Yes, for versions of IMail before IMail v8, which would not start Declude for messages sent from web messaging.
However, the only way that a virus can be spread by web messaging is if [1] The sender already has a virus on their computer, and [2] The sender sends an E-mail and clicks the "Attach File" button, and [3] They attach a file that was infected by the virus that is on their computer, and [4] The file they attach is an executable file. Since the user's incoming E-mail is scanned, it is even less likely that they will have a virus in the first place.
