I am at the point of just telling people using Hotmail or Yahoo to stop
doing so - as well as this sort of thing, they get monthly hacked accounts
spam in a way that Gmail doesn't.

Yes, I think so too. All these big mail companies

Yahoo!, AOL) seem to calculate a reputation per IP, and unknown ones
start from a quite low level, so you have to build things up a bit.
I've given up on Yahoo. Their spam filter seems to be pretty much random,
and is forever junking stuff which their users actually want. I've gone
through the cycle several times of teaching Yahoo users how to find their
spam folder, and they always find not just my e-mails but lots of other
wanted e-mails there.
I did try once going through Yahoo's issue reporting mechanism, but it was
a joke. I filled in a very detailed problem report, which produced an
automated response asking me to send all the same information again (!) to
an e-mail address, and when I did it bounced because the e-mail address
didn't exist.
The trouble with these big organisations is they really just don't care.
If their service isn't bad enough to lose them lots of customers then they
don't try to improve it.
