You can either choose to eat that cost, attempt to reduce the cost or shift it on to other parties. I think that trying to quietly mitigate it (by, for example, falsifying the From: field for some subset of subscribers) is going to cost more in the long term than shifting the support pain on to the cause of it (the ISP that's asked the world to prevent their users from posting to the lists you manage). I might be wrong about which is going to be cheaper, but I don't see any other decent options either (other than social pressure on Yahoo to rethink their decision).
