You mentioned yahoo vs. 20 submissions in short time??

Do you mean that you send each spam submission in a separate e-mail? Why not
submit all 20 as attachments to ONE e-mail submission?

You are limited in the number of submitted spams only by the total size of
each submission. Most spams are short so you probably could fit more than 20
into one e-mail submittal to SC.
