I'm glad I posted on this as I am realizing that I am not understanding exactly what is going on. When I had the spamdomains test set at 2/3s of the hold weight, I would find 4 or 5 legitimate messages a day held, with spamdomains putting each message "over the top". A quick look in my logs shows that 4 or 5 messages a day is a tiny percentage compared to the number of spammy messages that fail spamdomains. The problem is that these 4 or 5 messages a day are too many for me. It seems somebody is on my case whenever there is a false positive. I realize now that yahoo.com was probably a bad example, although I am sure that I have seen it happen. Perhaps Sheldon's explanation is correct. The bottom line is that I think I need to pay better attention to those false positives and see if I can figure out more about them.
