Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = no

Very nearly, you just forgot the direction off the front. So possibly you want
FromTo:         notme at domain.com        no
FromTo:         *@domain.com                  /var/archive
FromTo:         default                                 no

"FromTo:" will match any message coming from the address or going to it.
You will have to restart MailScanner (or kill -HUP all the processes) to
force it to re-read the configuration files and recompile the rulesets.
