Browsing rjw62's Mathmos QA site (https://osm.mathmos.net/addresses/pc-stats/PA/PA28/6/) I noticed an OSM postcode centroid for Machrihanish village was oddly displaced. Turns out this is because of a golf course tagged with an address.

This is a classic example of a mismatch between physical & postal addresses (the postal address is in the village as one might expect), and the actual clubhouse on the course has a different postcode.

The 4th cheapest is #mailboxforwarding.com which has no SSL on their login page. The 5th cheapest is AWS-hosted. These are services that people trust to opening their personal postal mail & scan it.
