Yahoo are an absolute pain in the ass. My last dealings with them were from shortly before Marissa took over, I don't know if they've improved or worsened.
What succeeded for one client was my posting pflogsumm stats showing delivery rates and times for Yahoo vs. numerous other large mail providers, along with proof of SPF and DKIM support, to all the Yahoo C-level (and several lower) execs, indicating that they had a problem, and I'd been attempting for months to resolve it.
Apparently there's a Yahoo "concierge", and we managed to get onto the company's approved senders list shortly after.
That said: email's a pain in the ass, and I do know for a fact that that particular client was failing to scrub known dead recipients (as in: the domains no longer existed). Some fights you just concede....
