Well, it now shows:

    Using best contacts abuse at yahoo.com
    abuse at yahoo.com redirects to network-abuse at cc.yahoo-inc.com

My understanding is that the problem was that Yahoo had the wrong data in
the abuse.net database, which is something that SpamCop does not control.
Hence, the need for someone at Yahoo to fix it.  (Short of modifying
SpamCop's parser to special-case "cc.yahoo-inc" to fix it.)
