Add a ruleset to the MailScanner.conf option "Scan Messages" so that it 
doesn't scan messages from 127.0.0.1..

eg
Scan Message = %rules-dir%/scan.messages.rules

and the scan.messages.rules file contains the following..

From:   127.0.0.1       no
FromOrTo: Default       yes


and then MS won't scan any messages from it's own computer.
