Well, looking up the error code in the RFC says 553 is a:

553 Requested action not taken: mailbox name not allowed
            [E.g., mailbox syntax incorrect]

So I don't know exactly how balsa would have any effect on it. It sounds
like a mailserver config problem with only that info (although I only
use qmail and am not an expert in all things mailserverish).
