Actually, maybe this is not exactly the problem. My messages are not
being sent out to the mailing list and then being rejected; they are
being rejected as soon as I try to send them. In particular, I get
this rejection: 

SMTP session failed: 554 Transaction failed :  Cannot send message due to possible abuse; please visit http://postmaster.yahoo.com/abuse_smtp.html

Do you think that the suggested URL gives me any useful information?
Well, maybe, once you jump through hoops. The best I found was this
page, which does not list the text of my error: 

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/smtp-error-codes-sln23996.html

but does have the helpful text "Yahoo is unable to disclose specific
information regarding our filtering practices." with other 554 errors.
