PHP Code:
$autoload['libraries'] = array(
'database',
'email',
'session',
'form_validation',
'pagination',
'encryption');

Try using the subclass_prefix MY_

Regarding problem #1, everything looked OK to me the way you handled it in the beginning, except how you refer to the callback function.
Try:
PHP Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', '', 'callback_scanEmail');
The function itself should keep the name 'scanEmail'.
RE: Problems with extending CI_Form_validation - Martin7483 - 07-31-2017
That approach will only look for the method scanEmail in the controller where the rule was set.

if I set the prefix, then I should change my Model and core Controller which I made by myself. which I don't want this happen.
Is this bug? because shouldn't be any force to have a prefix and suppose to work!
RE: Problems with extending CI_Form_validation - Wouter60 - 08-06-2017
If you extend a core library by using the MY_ prefix, the extended library is loaded with the original name. So there is no need for changing your controllers or models.
When you load the Form_validation library, CI will first check if there is a MY_Form_validation.php in application/libraries. If that isn't the case, it will load the core library from system/libraries.
