A lot from Hotmail, not so many from Yahoo. The problem with both is
that it's trivial to get an account. Doesn't matter a lot if they TOS
you 6 hours later.
In my experience, Yahoo seems to respond more decisively to
complaints. They also DON'T give out their own information. I have a
Yahoo account I always use for registering for things like free
RealPlayer, VMware betas & trials, etc. I don't use that address for any
other traffic. It gets zero spam, except what Real & VMware send me.
