You can check your mail log to see if you are seeing a high number of Yahoo!
deferrals. If so then those deferrals may be behind those unsubscribes,
especially if they have been unsubscribed due to excessive bounces. Checking
the mailman/logs/subscribe log should show you the reason behind these
recent unsubscribes.
