It would seem that the mail would first pass through the NAVGW, which would detect the virus and quarantine the message, and the IMail server would never see the message to apply rules against.

I was just checking our logs and this virus was caught as a virus and not as an attachment that could have been deleted based on our rules. Does that make sense???
