I've gotten both MailScanner and SpamAssassin working together. This error 
seems to be a Sendmail configuration issue with the smtp port option. When I 
set the option "Port=smtp,Addr=192.168.0.134, Name=MTA" to anything other 
than the public IP address it starts generating the following errors:

Sep 10 14:21:13 linux sm-msp-queue[13704]: h87D9S17003902: to=postmaster, 
delay=3+05:09:38, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=13026863, relay=
[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

I've been trying to set it to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 so that all my local mail 
(messages being sent to root) are received which I am not currently getting. 
The only mail I'm receiving is external mail.
