I would be rathe cautions about mixing postfixadmin and MailScanner. I 
don't know if that tool will not make some changes to the configuration 
file that are not compatible with the changes one must make for 
MailScanner to work properly.

I must assume you point to the feature listed below?

recipient_bcc_maps (default: empty)

     Optional BCC (blind carbon-copy) address lookup tables, indexed by 
recipient address. The BCC address (multiple results are not supported) 
is added when mail enters from outside of Postfix.

...

     Note: automatic BCC recipients are produced only for new mail. To 
avoid mailer loops, automatic BCC recipients are not generated for mail 
that Postfix forwards internally, nor for mail that Postfix generates 
itself.

I think it is not unlikely that the system will not do as you expect due 
to the restriction in the note I quoted above.

Hardly. I feel such comments are a bit ... well ... off.

I am afraid you lost me here entirely. I can not even guess what you did 
configure here.

But be a good sport and include such trivial things as postfix version, 
MailScanner version, relevant configuration lines, ....

Such information makes all the difference. And accuracy in names and 
functions never fail to improve the communication.
