I'm not a 100% sure, if mail is still bypassing MailScanner it looks
like something else is handling the email. To rule out other mailers,
could you run:
"lsof -i4tcp:25 -n -P"

And provide the output? Next to this could you also provide the output of:
"ps -eaf | grep -i -e sendmail \
	-e mailscanner \
	-e qmail \
	-e exim \
	-e master \
	-e qmgr"
