You probably don't want to do that.

Headers common to all Yahoo groups messages are:
> Received: from [yahooipaddress] (helo=somemachineid.yahoo.com)
        by yoursystemorgatewayinformation
> X-eGroups-Return: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> Mailing-List: list [EMAIL PROTECTED]; contact
>      [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> Precedence: bulk
> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I'd suggest testing for these lines, a Received with yahoo.com,
X-egroups-return exists, mailing-list with yahoogroups.com twice,
delivered-to with yahoogroups.com, precedence bulk, and list-unsubscribe
with yahoogroups.com.  Then create a Meta which matches on these rules,
and give that meta a decent negative score.

You don't want that negative score to be too large, since a) spammers
will eventually start sending spam with faked headers like these, and b)
many open groups within Yahoo include spam and other messages you may
want to filter.
