My guess is "DMARC".  Basically, Yahoo is basically telling the world
"users with a From address of @yahoo.com can only originate at yahoo.com
servers, and if you receive a message with a From: header of .*@yahoo.com
that didn't original with us, then you should drop it on the floor". 
Well, mail that comes through our server still has your From address set
to you, so it hits Yahoo's instructions to drop it on the floor, which
Yahoo is, itself, doing.  Google also enforces Yahoo's setting to drop it
on the floor.

My suggestion:  Don't use Yahoo for email lists.

PS: We are currently running a version of mailman that can, theoretically,
munge the from addresses of participants who come from DMARC-unfriendly
sites like Yahoo.  I have not, yet, turned that on.  However I could
probably be convinced to turn it on....
