You first need a ruleset to apply the action to just blah at blah.com. So set
SpamAssassin Rule Actions = %rules-dir%/spam.rule.actions.rules

Then in /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.rule.actions.rules put this

To: blah at blah.com SpamScore>9=>store,not-deliver
FromOrTo: default deliver

That should do the trick. Do you understand it?
