Okay,  I did the 'chkconfig --list MailScanner' and saw the different run
levels turned on.  So yes, I can see that 'mailscanner' is not the way to
go.  I ran 'chkconfig --levels 0123456 MailScanner off' and rebooted. 
Still the same problem.  Denis, I didn't even thought about the
cron.hourly job for check_MailScanner.  I removed this from the
cron.hourly, and rebooted....currently wait for system to
reboot.......okay rebooted now.

Looks like removing the check_MailScanner from the cron.hourly fixed it. 
now when I do a 'service MailScanner status' I get an error for
sendmail.in.pid and sendmail.out.pid.  This would be expected.  now when
I decide to use MailScanner on this system, I just need to remember to
add  check_MailScanner back into cron.hourly.

Nate, thanks for clearing up difference between "MailScanner" and
"mailscanner," this could have continued to haunt me in other situations.

      Maybe /etc/cron.hourly/check_MailScanner is restarting it?

      OTOH, are you sure MS is completely disabled?  Do "chkconfig
      --list
      MailScanner" and make sure it is off in all run levels.
