Sounds like Balsa is misconfigured or misbehaving. Try a manual smtp
session to your postfix server.

Example assumes postfix is running on localhost:

furin...@shirayuki:~$ telnet localhost smtp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 furinkan.ath.cx ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
HELO myhostname
250 furinkan.ath.cx
MAIL FROM: justinmatt...@gmail.com
250 2.1.0 Ok
RCPT TO: justinmatt...@gmail.com
250 2.1.5 Ok
DATA
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
Subject: this is a test
From: justinmatt...@gmail.com
To: justinmatt...@gmail.com

This is a test
foo
bar
.
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 4D3F98FDB3

It sounds like Balsa isn't giving any "RCPT TO:
email.addr...@goes.here.com" lines.

Indeed, there's no "to" lines there. From the above example, note the
"to=<r...@meidokon.net>":

Mar 18 19:07:08 shirayuki postfix/smtpd[2760]: 4D3F98FDB3:
client=localhost[127.0.0.1]
Mar 18 19:07:16 shirayuki postfix/cleanup[2779]: 4D3F98FDB3:

Mar 18 19:07:16 shirayuki postfix/qmgr[973]: 4D3F98FDB3:

If the manual test works then you need to poke Balsa, postfix is
working as expected.
