It looks, that it is small memory corruption.
I tried the same with balsa-1.0.0-pre5 and got the same result.
So I putted in send.c, function libbalsa_smpt_protocol:
address = msg->env->to;                                                    

    while (address != NULL) {                                              
    
>>      char ala[250];                                                     
    
>>      strcpy(ala,"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");        
                                  
        snprintf(buffer, 512, "RCPT TO:<%s>\r\n", address->mailbox);
And trying to send message to address samba-ntdom....... I got:
354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
ż c_uż;DATA

And when added simple printf in send.c, function libbalsa_smpt_protocol:
address = msg->env->to;                                                    

    while (address != NULL) {                                              
                
>>      printf("Buffer:");                                                 
                                           
        snprintf(buffer, 512, "RCPT TO:<%s>\r\n", address->mailbox);

the message was sent normally like any other (I use sendmail with deferred
delivery,
so I can see what goes into the mqueue).

This function (libbalsa_smpt_protocol) looks clean, so the corruption is
done in some
other place, probably
