You'll need to tell sendmail to just queue the mail for delivery, not actually
deliver it.
in /etc/mail/sendmail.conf, you'll something like:
DAEMON_PARMS="-bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in";
then get Mailscanner to pick up the mail from the queue, scan it, and put it
back into sendmail's delivery queue.
in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue.in
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue
sendmail doesn't directly call mailscanner, both run as separate processes and
just put the necessary files where the other can find them,
