Heh. ;) Sorry, but I kind of expect some due diligence, in particular by long time and experienced community members. Coming across blatantly obvious cases of local rules being complained about to misfire might make me snappy. Think about it this way: In order to help you, my first step is to find out details about those rules (grep stock cf files) and their respective score (your sample). You provided an exemplary, flawless sample.

Actually, as Kevin and Anthony pointed out, Yahoo even expressly states in their DMARC records you should never have genuinely received those messages, nor accepted them. Yahoo classifies it forged. It is the mass mailer's and its client's fault. (Back to the "cheap" part. Doing mass mailings but don't own your own domain? Accepting and actually using free-mailer address as sender? Even worse, failing to get the note about Yahoo DMARC policy in that business?) -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu\0.@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
