What is web-based spam? Comment spam? Wiki defacements? Or do you
want to stop spam sent via web mailers? That's their job. They know
more about their customers than you, and quite a few of them use HTTPS
anyway.
If Yahoo hasn't got rate limits on their "I've got a new email
address" feature, for example, they need to fix it, not you or anybody
else.
