Bogofilter documentation, probably. Questions regarding that might
belong on a list specific to that project.

That's a complex setup. First things first, you need to learn how to
manage your OS. RHEL is extensively documented. Next, consider
simpler alternatives. You're going to have a lot of frustration as
you try to understand what you have already done. It does not need to
be so complicated.

I think I understand all that. What I don't understand is WHY you
thought this was a good idea. :)

And this would be a CentOS/RHEL question. If you're going to have
Postfix as your MTA, get the sendmail.org MTA out of the way.

Home.com is a real Internet domain. You should use a domain name that
would never appear on the Internet, for internal naming. I use
subdomains of my real domain, which I control, and also a made-up
TLD, .vpn.

Mailscanner, as you know, is not recommended for Postfix, and will
not be supported on this list. But in this case it does not seem to
be the cause of the mail loop.

Here's the post-Mailscanner message.

Oops. That's not Postfix. Postfix logs all say "postfix" in them.

And yet it submits mail back to Postfix.

There's your loop.
Best advice to proceed, spend some time getting to know how to work
with/in your OS. Mail administration is challenging for experienced
system administrators! Your problem here is that you're not an
experienced system administrator, so it's going to be much more
difficult for you.
Next, look at more sane and clean methods of spam control. Simple
HELO checks (specifically reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname and
reject_invalid_helo_hostname) and Spamhaus Zen will get rid of the
vast majority of the spam.
