that could occur when
a. student machines are botted (for institutions not blocking outbound
port 25)
b. student and alumni accounts are compromised by phishers
(both of these just for the purposes of sending spam from well
connected, reputable institutions.)
and then consumers really do complain...
i'm told (not just by yahoo insiders) that the forms at
postmaster.yahoo.com
actually do work, eventually.

I don't think this is Yahoo reacting to spam complaints because a
large
number of sites (many universities, for instance) are being affected
by
this problem at the same time.
