In the face of intentional unresponsiveness:  blacklisting.

Start contacting  Yahoo.com subscribers and explain the situation to
these users,  and inform the users that,  for the time being:
yahoo.com e-mail addresses can no longer participate in the mailing
lists, because of Yahoo's new policy:   And make some suggestions of
good alternatives to using Yahoo mail.

Then use mail filters to block messages to mailing  list addresses
with From: header yahoo.com  (which cause the problem),  next
suspend subscriptions for   @yahoo.com users,   and configure mailing
list software so that new @yahoo.com based e-mail addresses cannot
subscribe or post to the lists.
