No idea here. Looks like whatever is sending this e-mail started
sending the actual e-mail before the DATA phase of the smtp 
transaction started. Postfix has provisions to do uber-massive
logging of SMTP transactions from certain hosts --- you may want
to turn that on for whatever host is talking to you here. Crank
it up high enough and you'll pretty much see the SMTP as it is
taking place, and what is flying back and forth. Otherwise, use
tcpdump or friend to watch the traffic.

Here you probably want to take a look at:
 http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_non_fqdn_hostname

Although it sounds as if coldfusion is talking to itself, in which case
it might be that it doesn't have a fully qualified domain name set, or
Postfix doesn't know what it is.
