It probably uses /usr/lib/sendmail to send mail which postfix and pretty much every other mta has.
Exactly, that is what I think: but that fails, there must be some difference between the "real" sendmail and postfix's sendmail. But, balsa can also talk to an smtp server by default: --with-esmtp Enable libESMTP default=yes This has been explicitly disabled on the distribution, as shown in "/usr/src/packages/SPECS/balsa.spec", with "--with-esmtp=no", thus rendering balsa useless if postfix is installed (or if the user wants to use a remote server). This switch requires the library "libesmtp", which is not included on the dvd. After compiling that library and balsa, I got it working: I'm writing this with balsa :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
