I have been getting false positives from Yahoo due to
FORGED_MUA_MOZILLA hitting on a new X-Mailer line added by Yahoo
about 3/31/17

The X-Mailer line reads:

X-Mailer: WebService/1.1.9272 YahooMailNeo Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT
10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36
/DCE\)/

My guess is that they are including the http user-agent header of the
browser that connected to their webmail server.

Correct, I also noticed this a few days ago. Maybe the rule could be
changed to exclude yahoo...but maybe other webmail applications do this
too, not sure.

Excluding when verified from Yahoo would be the proper approach.

I added && !__FROM_YAHOO_COM (from 20_headers.cf) to FORGED_MUA_MOZILLA
giving

FORGED_MUA_MOZILLA (__MOZILLA_MUA && !__UNUSABLE_MSGID && !__MOZILLA_MSGID && !__FROM_YAHOO_COM )

I am testing that now,
any comments or suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Unfortunately masscheck is down for migration so any global fix won't go out anytime soon...
