It's documented near the top of
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/conf.shtml

Basically you've got it right, but to over-ride the default "deliver"
action you'll need a line
         *.              delete
and not just
         *               delete
Sorry about that, it's just how it got implemented...

For messages with multiple recipients, deliver over-rides store, which in
turn over-rides delete. So if any of the recipients match a "deliver" rule,
the message will be delivered (to all the recipients). Failing that, if any
of the recipients match a "store" rule, the message will be stored. Failing
that, if all the recipients match "delete" rules, the message will be deleted.
