Turn on VERP or full personalization. That will force mailman to generate a
separate message for each recipient and Yahoo will see several messages each
addresses to one recipient rather than one message addressed to multiple
recipients.

Unfortunately, when a recipient chooses to use a free e-mail service, they
get what they're paying for.
