The right hand column in a rule is the value you want for the setting when
the condition matches. It is a yes or no only if that is what the
configuration option wants.

So if you want different report files as a result of the rule, then put the
filename in there instead.

So for example you could have rules that look like this sort of thing:
To: @mydomain.com  /etc/MailScanner/reports/incoming.report.txt
From: @mydomain.com /etc/MailScanner/reports/outgoing.report.txt
