I have custom rules for the individual groups. Some are cleaner than
others. The rule scores range from -10 for the clean groups to +2 for
the dirty ones.
header UHS_MMSSTV Subject =~ /\[MM-SSTV\]/i
describe UHS_MMSSTV MMSSTV is not always nice
score UHS_MMSSTV 2.0
That's an example of a not always clean one. Clean messages hit BAYES_0
most of the time. So even with a +2 on the group it VERY seldom false
alarms. Other groups get a high a negative score as -10 when it is known
they are squeaky clean. (GoogleGroups is another kettle of Bandini(tm).
Note that Bandini(tm) is "The word for fertilizer.")
Your rule would work except that messages from mailinglists on YahooGroups
are never from yahoogroups.com. But it might let more than a little garbage
through. "Sender" as a replacement for "From" might trigger a trifle more
often unless you are looking for subscription feedback messages. Those have
From lines with stuff like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can at
least trap on the <domain>@yahoogroups.com part.
Read the headers for what you want to capture. Don't guess. It's like
guessing a password.

In my fight against spam, yahoo groups seems to be the only casualty.
I'm not a rule writer, so please forgive this feable attempt and let me
know if it looks ok????
# Example of a rule for text in the header of the mail:
header LOCAL__H_from_yahoogroups From =~ /yahoogroups\.com/i
score LOCAL__H_from_yahoogroups -2.0
describe LOCAL__H_from_yahoogroups From yahoogroups.com
