Or you can use the non-word macros \< and \>. This is a different
heuristic and may still yield false positives. For example, if you had
a yes somewhere in the test line:

    X-Spam-Status: No, foo-yes, othertests, ...

it would trigger because - and , match \< and \>. Anyway, here it is:

    :0
    * ^X-Spam-Status:.*\<yes\>
    {
      ...
    }

            They are merely a shorthand for `[^a-zA-Z0-9_]',
            but  can  also match newlines.  Since they match
            actual characters, they  are  only  suitable  to
            delimit  words, not to delimit inter-word space.
