You can set the required spam score for different addresses.
You can set the spam actions for different addresses.
But you cannot easily do both in a simple ruleset.

What you could do though is create a custom function &SpamAction for "Spam
Actions".
         Spam Actions = &MySpamAction
Put this in CustomConfig.pm (that file should already exist. If it doesn't
then upgrade to a version that does have it).

sub InitMySpamAction {
         ; # No initialisation needed for this plugin
}

sub MySpamAction {
         my($message) = @_;

         my $score = $message->{sascore}; # You can look up attributes in
Message.pm
         # Done in decreasing order so the highest scoring result is used
         return 'forward deleted at localhost delete' if $score>=20.0;
         return 'forward stored at localhost store' if $score>=7.0;
         return 'forward spam at localhost deliver' if $score>=5.0;
         return 'deliver';
}
