You posted a lot of stuff below, but I don't see what you have for

Mail Header

in MailScanner.conf, nor do I see what you have for

envelope_sender_header

in spam.assassin.prefs.conf. If you set

%org-name% = FMI

in Mailscanner.conf and still get the first error, look at "Mail Header".
Also you'd need to set

envelope_sender_header X-TMI-MailScanner-From

in spam.assassin.prefs.conf.
