[bars] Doug Bruce seems to have had his email taken over

[William Smith]

Actually, it's worse than that.

The first message I got was from Comcast, with a return path of Comcast, so it looks like his Comcast email had been taken over.

The followups have been _from_ Yahoo with a return path of AOL, but then SPF says Yahoo can send AOL mail, as they are appartently the same company now since Verizon sold them both off?

I talked to Doug, he's aware, and is trying to recover his Comcast email, which he's been locked out of.
