Description

The following useragent strings are not being detected as bots. In my own use case, i've seen something like 100,000+ of these in the last few months.

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo Link Preview; https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/yahoo-link-preview-SLN23615.html) maild/1619930332-0

The second one can be generalized more, the last param in the URL changes, but everything else is the same
