It may be visible to other members of the groups I'm subscribed to but 
it isn't visible in the yahoo web interface, even on the lists where no 
membership is required.

This means that passing spam harvesters can't see my email address from 
Yahoo. They can in the ATM-list.

Just do a Google search on your email address and see what you get - no 
Yahoo groups, lots of mailman type mailing lists - including ATM-list.
