Presumably your method of submitting the spam from yahoo mail was by
forwarding as attachment to the submit address as described at
http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/23.html  Yahoo Mail

Then you would await the return of the spamcop mail which would contain
the links to report the spam;  which would require that there was a
match between your registered email address and the submission -- and
also that spamcop's parsing of email submissions was proceeding in a
timely fashion.

There have been recent reports here of delays of hours for submissions
to result in replies.

The block list web gizmo at http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml is used to
determine if the IP address of a source is blocklisted.

You would use it by examining the complete headers of a mail item,
determining the source IP, then plugging that IP into the gizmo to see
if it is listed.

Instructions for viewing full headers in yahoo mail are at the yahoo
mail link above.  Header reading advice is here
http://spamlinks.net/trace.htm#headers-reading-english  English Header
Reading Advice  --  This long and old one is very popular
http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html  Reading Email Headers

Or, if you are able to access the complete headers of the yahoo mail,
you can also plug those headers into the webparser and SpamCop will
determine the source IP for you.

That IP address can be put into the blocklist web gizmo.
