Are there people on the list who speak Spanish reasonably well and/or know  
MailScanner and/or CentOS 5.3 better than I do so that they can help?

Because Postfix, too, installs a "sendmail" program.

Please do:

1. run "postconf sendmail_path", this will print something like
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
or sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail

Note the right hand side of the output

2. run "rpm -Vf /usr/sbin/sendmail", but use instead what the postconf  
command has printed

3. run "rpm -qf /usr/sbin/sendmail".

4. If necessary, please change the filter script to use the same(!)  
sendmail command as your postconf printed in step 1.

I guess that you may need to (a) remove sendmail and (b) reconfigure  
MailScanner to use Postfix.

Yes. That is obvious. We must first find out why, and then correct that.

http://www.mailscanner.info/ubuntu.html suggests that MailScanner can be  
configured to use Postfix. Can you show your MailScanner.conf file?  
(remove passwords, if any are there in the file).
