Er, I'm confused. (Or maybe you are. :-)

IMP isn't sending mail via SMTP; it's calling a program on the host it
runs on which sends the mail. In your case, I guess that would be
qmail's sendmail-compatible wrapper (but remember that I don't use
qmail.)

It sounds to me that you're expecting the virus-checking that your
system does on incoming mail to work on mail sent out from IMP; but
incoming mail isn't outgoing mail, and there's no reason for IMP to
use the SMTP server on the machine it's running on.

(I've never seen virus-checking on *outgoing* mail.)
