MailScanner doesn't get involved in the delivery of cleaned-up mail at all.
That is entirely down to sendmail. In sendmail you can specify a
"smarthost" so that it will send all non-local mail there, and you can
specify a "mailhub" where it will send all mail.

I suggest you read www.sendmail.org, or the O'Reilly sendmail book.

No.
