Yahoo CFL Domains Not Recognized by Mailchimp Spam Reports

After configuring Yahoo CFL for several domains, I figured out that Intuit Mailchimp fails to recognize spam reports for certain Yahoo-owned domains. These domains include:

@frontier.com

@bellsouth.net

@rocketmail.com

@sbcglobal.net

Subscribers with email addresses from these domains continue to remain active subscribers, even after marking emails as spam.
