Set
         Archive Mail = /etc/MailScanner/rules/archive.mail.rules
And then in that file put things like
From: user1 at yourdomain.com      /var/spool/MailScanner/archive/user1
From:   user2 at yourdomain.com    /var/spool/MailScanner/archive/user2
From:   *@yourdomain.com        /var/spool/MailScanner/archive/otherusers
FromOrTo:       default

So mail from user1 gets put in the user1 archive (ditto for user2). Mail
from any other address in your domain gets put in the "otherusers" archive.
No other mail is archived (which is why the default is blank).
