I assume the first queue /var/spool/mqueue is your MailScanner output
directory?

The second process is your process for accepting incoming connections.

What is the queue dir referenced by the third sendmail?   What is
/var/spool/clientmqueue??

Please check your MailScanner.conf and tell us what directories you are using
for the input queue and output queue as far as MS is concerned.

Regards,

Antony.
