Ahh.. ok.. that's what I was looking for.

Reverting the sendmail configuration back to a null client, it happily
sends email back to the exchange server farm.  From there, if I stop
sendmail and start up MailScanner (with it starting up sendmail), email
passes right through to the exchange server as if MailScanner never
touched it.

Watching the MailScanner --debug output, all I see is:
/usr/sbin/MailScanner --debug
In Debugging mode, not forking...
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
SpamAssassin temp dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp
Building a message batch to scan...

And /var/log/maillog shows:

Interesting since my inbound queue is set to /var/spool/mqueue.in and
outbound queue is set to /var/spool/mqueue...
