It appears to send the "sender.error.report.txt" message by virtue of the
setting:
Sender Error Report        = %report-dir%/sender.error.report.txt

You would need to set
Notify Senders of Other Blocked Content = %rules-dir%/notify.senders.rules
in MailScanner.conf.
Then in /etc/MailScanner/rules/notify.senders.rules you should put
From: certain.domain.com        yes
FromOrTo: default               no

Another example:

If you wanted to change the report for different domains instead, you could put
Sender Error Report = %rules-dir%/sender.report.rules
in MailScanner.conf, and in /etc/MailScanner/rules/sender.report.rules you
could put
From: certain.domain.com /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/special.sender.error.txt
FromOrTo: default /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/sender.error.report.txt
