Check more log entries for these downloads - do all of them come
from a mail.yahoo.com server and use the ShowLetter script? Is ShowLetter
used only when downloading files?

If so, you could try using a url_regex acl - something like this:

acl YahooFiles url_regex -i mail\.yahoo\.com.+ShowLetter
http_access deny YahooFiles

If it were possible, it would be far easier to simply block the sites
entirely. There was a recent discussion on blocking MSN Messenger
that had a mention of blocking Yahoo mail - you could try looking
for that for ideas.
