It comes from running Razor as the Postfix user (Which you have to do as
that is what MailScanner will use). You should remove this file and
configure Razor to log else where (In spam.assassin.prefs.conf).

That is caused by the above log file. It will go if you remove it.

MailScanner makes no difference to virtual domains or local domains. It
just does it's job and lets Postfix worry about what is virual/ local and
how to make delivery.
