This is usually a symptom of you running the normal (original) sendmail
process as well as running MailScanner at the same time. The original
sendmail starts first and gets control of port 25, and just delivers
everything it receives. Do a "chkconfig --list" and make sure you have the
right services switched on and off. In particular, make sure that sendmail
is off in runlevel 2.
