Remove Qualcomm Eudora

I think it is time to remove some old code that it's no more used nowadays,
Qualcomm Eudora has been a great MUA but it has not been in the wild for some
time.

Eudora 7

After your comment on this bz I checked my old logs and found some spam that
has not been catched because we check only for Eudora<=6 in X-Mailer field.
Eudora 7 has been published many years ago.
With a similar rule we can than remove some score to real Eudora users (if it
matches X-Mailer and Message-ID, for example).

--- Comment #1 from Bill Cole <sa...@billmail.scconsult.com> ---
The assertion that Eudora is no longer in use is surprisingly NOT true. It has
shown up in legitimate mail to 3 different mailing lists to which I am
personally subscribed: MailOps, SDLU (a.k.a. "Spam-L v2"), and the MailMate
Users(!) list. A naive analysis might well conclude that a valid Eudora
fingerprint on mail is a strong (although increasingly rare) indicator of
ham...

The EudoraMail webmail service is indeed long dead and any claim in headers
that a message originates there is at best an "easter egg" from the sender and
more likely a very weak attempt at fraud by a spammer. 

This patch needs to be revised in light of those facts.

Eudora is still alive and people send both ham and spam,
add Eudora 7 match to sync regexp with reality (Eudora7 has been published more
than 10 years ago).
