However, many people use the yahoo mail groups. barring all of the
yahoo domain will just ruin one service in exchange for nothing. the
loss would be the low cost free mail groups.
Back in the day a e-mail list would cost a person 25-30 bucks to run
or (run in the background of his shell account if the admin didn't
care some did and some didn't)
it isn't the low cost/free accounts that are the problem it is the
ISPs and the Lusers.
I have in the last 20 years killed a multitude of accounts for abuse
and worked an abuse desk at an ISP. It is a waste of time killing
accounts.
