I prefer the sentence be included. I've just lost a member due to this policy.
I'd almost classify this as a fair trade problem in that small service providers are forced into doing this yet Yahoo ignores the? policy. It forces small start ups to jump hurdles.
I wonder if this is why Verizon/Yahoo don't mark bouncing Yahoo email members. I know that almost all of my Groups.io members that bounced when transferred from YGroups were bouncing in the Yahoo Group but were not marked. I checked by sending 2 test emails. 1 from my Yahoo account and 1 from my gmail account, both bounced.

Mark has now provided me with a copy of the updated "message to deleted members" that has been used from 22 March 2018, and I have added it to the draft wiki.
Having read and thought about it, I am still not sure that it is clear enough about one point. I think Marked picked up a point made by Shal in his post? , and removed a sentence that was in my original suggestion, that sentence being Please note that this "marking as spam" may have been done by your Email Service Provider and not by you.? Given that I and others have expressed reservations about many members' degree of "IT Awareness" I tend to think that without that sentence the message may well not drive home the fact that what happened was down to the MSP rather than the individual member.?
I would appreciate other members' views on this before submitting a further suggestion. ??
I may also add to the "Remediation" section to reinforce the fact that some degree of advance mitigation of this overall problem is down to individual members themselves, and that it cannot be done by Owners and Moderator.
