obsmtp.com is Postini's outbound servers for customer mail.

In my experience, they gush spam, and Postini management has been
impressively hostile to the suggestion that a spam filtering company
should, you know, filter spam.  On my smallish mail server, I direct
nearly all of their mail into the spamtrap, picking out only a handful
of envelope domains that I've observed sending legit mail.
