I don't understand about yahoo groups and why spammers can abuse
them so easily, but it happens apparently.

There is another thread in the main spamcop group about why some
'popular' mailing list has gotten on the spamcop bl.  From what I
can tell the reason is that this 'big name' and popular mailing
list is totally ignoring industry best practices.  And from what I
can tell, yahoo does also.

Spam is spam - the content doesn't matter; it is the method in
which it is delivered - as a confirmed subscription or just because
the merchant thinks no one will complain because he has such a
great product, everyone will like to get his mailings.

yahoo thinks it can get away with sloppy practices because it
offers a popular service and thereby opens up the whole internet
for every wannabe great service provider aka spam.
