You need to run exim in the same way that it is run *after* mailscanner 
has had hold of it. That might involve specifying a different config 
file, passing a -D option to exim to modify the behaviour of its config, 
or "something else" (I don't know how cPanel works it). You can probably 
find it by looking at the Sendmail2 option in your MailScanner.conf.
