I have a group (reflector) on Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/adxc/)
and belong to several others. I get lots of spam but I don't blame Yahoo.
But one does need to go into Yahoo's "Marketing Preferences" in your Yahoo
profile and opt out of the junk mail. The default is on, which would
certainly explain your experience.

Whenever I was subscribed to a list on yahoo, my spam level went up an
order of magnitude. I will not subscribe with this addy to anything on
yahoo. They must make a mint selling addys to spammers.
