Here are bits of the EUDORA rules you're hitting:
20_ratware.cf:meta FORGED_MUA_EUDORA            (__EUDORA_MUA &&
!__EUDORA_MSGID && !__UNUSABLE_MSGID && !__HAS_X_LOOP &&
!__HAS_X_MAILING_LIST && !__MAC_EUDORA_MUA && !__PALM_EUDORA_MUA &&
!__OLD_EUDORA1 && !(__OLD_EUDORA2 && !__ANY_QUALCOMM_MUA))
20_ratware.cf:describe FORGED_MUA_EUDORA        Forged mail pretending to
be from Eudora

20_ratware.cf:header __EUDORA_MUA               X-Mailer =~
/\b(?:QUALCOMM|Eudora)\b/

20_ratware.cf:header __MAC_EUDORA_MUA           X-Mailer =~ /Eudora for
(?:Macintosh|Mac OS X)/


FORGED_MUA_EUDORA is a meta rule meaning it is based on other rules.

Putting "Eudora for Mac OS X" somehwere in your X-Mailer like the
__MAC_EUDORA_MUA has it should do the trick, methinks.

Disclaimer:
I'm probably wrong.
