MailScanner Ignoring All Emails

Ok, I have a MailScanner 5.0.6 with sendmail up, operational, and relaying,
and mail is correctly flowing through mailscanner.

Steps I took for testing:

1) Install CentOS 7 (I used a minimal install)
2) Install MailScanner 5.0.6 using install.sh with all defaults
3) Enable MailScanner (/etc/MailScanner/defaults)
4) Disable sendmail and sm-client (systemctl disable sendmail, systemctl
disable sm-client)
5) Enable ms-sendmail (systemctl enable ms-sendmail)
6) installed sendmail-cf and m4
7) edited /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to listen on all interfaces

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl

8) built new cf

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

9) Added my domain/destination to the /etc/mail/mailertable

example.org   ESMTP:[x.x.x.x]

10) Built mailertable db

makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable.db < /etc/mail/mailertable

11) Added domain to /etc/mail/relay-domains

example.org

12) Rebooted (was having issues with mailscanner starting, but reboot
cleared that up, probably self inflicted)

Sent an email to this system, and this is my log (edited).

So, let's compare notes.
