The question is which is more or less unfriendly? 

1)  Forbidding yahoo.com users from participating on mailing lists

2)  Rewriting the from field of yahoo.com users.

I could easily see the mailing list software making this be
configurable, so it's up to each mailing list admin.  :-)

P.S.  #1 could also be combined with a nice message inviting the
yahoo.com user to find another e-mail provider.
