Did you chkconfig sendmail off?  Almost sounds like your sendmail
processes are still running.

Also, you can install IO::Wrap to get rid of the perl module error.

Hi,
You don't need to do "service sendmail start" then "service mailscanner
start" as when you issue the mailscanner with start this also starts
sendmail at which point you've started a duplicate sendmail process
which will fail to listen on port 25 and spit out the error you saw.
Chkconfig sendmail off will stop sendmail automatically starting on boot
but just use service mailscanner stop/start and this will stop/start
sendmail respectively.
