Is the MailScanner version the version from Sarge, or the .tar.gz-version?
I use the standard Sarge-sendmail version, but update MailScanner by hand 
with the .tar.gz-version.
To have the thing working in Sarge, I needed to edit the 
/etc/mail/sendmail.conf, and give this to the DAEMON_PARMS:

DAEMON_PARMS="-ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in";

That takes care of the 'split' sendmail queues. You should start MailScanner 
seperately, in this configuration.

Hope this helps!
