Firstly try your spam filter in Yahoo. If it isn't in there - do you use a spam filter on your own pc??
Finally have you tried sending one to yourself from yahoo to yahoo. If this works I would guess your email address with tiscali is blacklisted. Have you tried contacting them??

have you tried using something like gmail? that way you are not tied to your ISP for email. This has numerous advantages, not least if you change ISP you don't lose your email address0

Major problems with sending mail via Tiscali. Most users (including me) didn't realise this was happening because Tiscali hasn't notified anyone:

It's a really bad idea to use the email address supplied by your ISP (for reasons that should now be obvious). What you should do is buy your own domain name (like "my-name.me.uk") and set up a secret email account from which you download all mail. Set up a number of "forwarder" email addresses to receive mail and push them into your secret account. Set up a web page with your current (forwarder) email address on it (or preferably an email form that hides the address).
Print your business stationery with your web site address but NOT your email address. You can then change your email forwarding addresses as often as you like and your stationery will not go out of date.0
