Oh, perhaps I should also have made my preference clear.
I'm happy with the way the setup is currently. The volume of spam is
not so large as to be an impost, and I have a B-A folder that messages
get routed to, meaning that it's quite manageable.

I think I do.
The filters here define everything from yahoo as spam, "unless otherwise
specified". That is, you can set a specific set of individual yahoo
addresses that are treated not as spam, but the default is to block
incoming mail from yahoo addresses.
Now, I'm not quite sure of the way that Russell has set it up, but the
"return to:" address for B-A mail is not the list address, but the
individual sender's address. This might mean that I would have to
individually specify every member of the list to the filter, or lose
incoming mail from unspecified individuals. I don't think our setup is
unique.

Not quite - a google search returns something that looks like your
e-mail address but isn't quite. I'm not at all sure this is preventing
harvesting but when people have complained about this I've checked
google
and usually found unrelated webpages actually containing the person's
e-mail address. I believe the new archive will offer a similar degree
of
protection to yahoo groups - but I don't have an opinion about
switching.
