Yes, it's an effective tool.  Large providers have large duties to
control spam.  Blocking the provider can give them an incentive to be
responsible.

In the meantime, I don't feel like trying to clean up Yahoo's problem.
Those who wish to send email from Yahoo can decide whether they're happy
with the situation or want to move to some other provider that isn't
widely rejected.
