afaik you have to disable the mta  at least with sendmail
(i have no experiences with postfix and ms)

# chkconfig sendmail --list
# chkconfig sendmail off
# service sendmail stop


the default MailScanner.conf is ok out of the box with sendmail.
check your MailScanner.conf

eg. fc3  ms + sendmail
--------
Run As User =
Run As Group =
MTA = sendmail
Sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail
Sendmail2 = /usr/sbin/sendmail
...
--------


# service MailScanner restart

and check if all is ok
