No, IMail is not vulnerable to those attacks.  In order for the virus to 
get onto an IMail server via the IMail web server, the virus author would 
need to find a security hole (if there are any) and then take advantage of 
it -- which would likely require more work than the potential reward.

As you point out, there are other methods in which the IMail server could 
get infected (such as local network crossinfecting, JavaScript if you 
connect to other web sites from that server, or by opening attachments on 
the IMail server itself).
