Yahoo! Groups used to have a "remote group" feature, where Y!G would act 
as an archive of a list hosted on another server, as well as provide the 
other web-based features of Y!G.  Unfortunately, they did away with that 
feature about a year ago.

I seem to remember trying to bounce a message to a Yahoo! Group, but 
there was a header that caused trouble.  Y!G basically would not accept 
any direct forwards from another list.  I guess it was their loop-
prevention mechanism.  A cut-and-paste would work of course.

I think your best bet will be to automate the forwarding process on your 
end.  As you've seen, manual forwards work.
