someone@mydomain.plus.com. I am actually the sole user of the domain, so am puzzled how it got through Postini, as I thought something had been done to prevent such occurrences. Is there anything that one can do to counteract the events, like blacklisting anything unauthorised before the @?

I took a peek at some of the bounces from a recent bout of address forging and one of the targets of the spam appears* to have been using postini. The message appears* to have passed straight through.
* according to information in the bounce, which is unknown so cannot be trusted

But anything like your example that didn't actually go through Plusnet relays will have the whitelisting ignored and be treated like any other email.
The reason your example was not tagged as spam is that the Postini bulk filter gave it the all clear (with a score of X-pstn-levels: S:16.49120).
