It sounds like you're managing to redirect scanned e-mails back into
amavis and you've got a mail-loop.

The condition in your amavis router needs to be
"eq {$interface_port}{10025}" rather than the
"eq {$received_protocol}{scanned-ok}" that you have in your
configuration.

I am a little confused by what your configuration is trying to do,
however, especially the "amavis_director" bit - sounds suspiciously like
some Exim 3.x configuration...
