I may be misinterpreting what you're saying but In my groups, yahoo addresses represent 35% of the removal-for-spam incidents.
Ironic, isn't it?
Lots of people still have Yahoo Mail accounts because for awhile you *had* to...in order to subscribe to Yahoo Groups. Now that many Yahoo Groups have migrated to groups.io, Yahoo Mail accounts are disproportionately represented among groups.io subscribers.
But I think Duane was talking about Yahoo Groups and Google Groups here, not Yahoo and Google as email providers. Those two listservs (or whatever you want to call them) were "too big to fail," and can thus better afford to ignore incoming FBL notifications. The ironic part is that while Yahoo Groups didn't react to FBL reports (that I've ever noticed), Yahoo Mail/Verizon does nonetheless send them.
Clearly, groups.io is not yet in this position. About once a month its IP address lands on someone's blacklist, and all mail to affected domains gets rejected. The most recent one was AT&T/prodiogy/sbcglobal, only 10 days ago (Ref:?).
Mark continues to work on this as best he can, but as long as such things continue to occur we're kinda stuck with where we are now. To the extent that all of us head off any false spam reports -- and complain to our own email providers when their algorithms fail to work properly -- we can actually help him to build the reputation that others already have.
