Some more log would be useful as the above bit is working fine, as you
said yourself. We are missing the logs for the bit that's broken ;-)

Don't think so, that all looks fine

At the bottom of MailScanner.conf there is an entry delivery method. Make
sure this is batch for imediate delivery see here
http://www.mailscanner.info/MailScanner.conf.index.html#Delivery%20Method

Otherwise, start MailScanner in debug mode with a batch of messages in the
queue and report any failures.
