Yahoo's response time to phishing site reports varies. For sites whose
domains are registered and hosted at Yahoo, I report directly and
instantaneously to 
   network-abuse at cc.yahoo-inc.com
Don't give them too much info, or their filters will reject the message. I
supply simply the domain name and complete phishing URL, letting the Subject
convey why I'm sending the message.

I hear back with a mostly standard message after they've closed down the
site...usually somewhere between 12 and 96 hours. :-(

A lot of the Yahoo-hosted phishing sites in phishing messages I get are
physically hosted about 10 miles from my place. Thus the
pull-the-giant-plug-out-of-the-wall fantasy when I continue to receive
messages over a few days pointing to one of those sites still up and
running.
