No, you aren't stuck with them.  AFAICT our ISP (BT, formerly British
Telecom, at the moment) also uses Yahoo servers.  But we don't.  BT
provides us with mail accounts too, and we don't use them either.

Not difficult.  Comcast gets binned here too. :)

You have an answer.  Run your own mail server, and you can do whatever
you like.  Rely on Yahoo - or practically anyone else - and you'll get
what they want you to get.

You haven't said how you're getting the mail into Evolution but you
could in theory use something like fetchmail and pipe the messages
through your own local filters if you really wanted to.  But then if
you go on holiday, and your filters are on the PC at home, well...
