I got the following auto-response to filling out the form:

"This is an automated message regarding your recent request for Yahoo!
Postmaster Customer Care Support. We have received your message but due
to a temporary problem we wanted to let you know it could take up to a
week until you receive a response. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Thank you for reaching out to us. We look forward to helping you!"

Makes me wonder exactly what their "temporary" problem is... a week of 
deferred mail could really stack up.
