>1. Are only attachments sent thru web messaging being put in the Spool

go into the spool directory and look for largish files (probably have
attachments) and open one with notepad.exe. you will see the msg body and
the attachement is all one encoded text file.
>2. Where are attachements opening? On the server or on the PC?
wherever they need to be read. The scanner needs to un-encode
the attachment to produce the original attachements for scanning.
>3. Why is it important or not important to put a virus scanner on our
>Imail server?
it�s generally considered important to catch a virus on one mail server
than it is to catch it after it�s gone to 1000 desktops.
>4. From what I understand, most ISP do not scan the mail for virus's before
>they are passed down to the PC.
probably true.
