I do not understand your question.

I think the problem is that sendmail gets involved. As a consequence,  
Postfix does not know that it has already filtered the message, sendmail  
injects into Postfix, and Postfix believes it's an external message and  
filters it again.

Please check that, inside /home/bogofilter/postfix-filter.sh, the  
"sendmail" command is used with a path to POSTFIX's sendmail command.

You may need to deinstall the sendmail RPM from CentOS, and after that  
re-install the Postfix RPM. However I do not know what you need to change  
about MailScanner, I've never used it, and I do not know how CentOS 5  
sendmail and postfix packages are laid out and set up.


Hope that helps.

Best regards
