The lines in your init.d script that starts MailScanner should also start
up the 2 copies of sendmail. It should put these additions in the command
line that starts the incoming sendmail, but not in the outgoing sendmail.

By putting this in sendmail.cf, you will have broken the outgoing sendmail.
These additions should be on the sendmail command-line, not in the
sendmail.cf file.
