Postfix is a multi-daemon system. Log messages like this:
Dec 01 14:05:01 turnbull.jp postfix/qmgr[731085]: C8CC22032D:
from=<[email protected]>, size=4005, nrcpt=4
(queue active)
are common for the 'qmgr' daemon. But the 'smtpd' daemon's messages
usually has both "from=" and "to=" phrases. (This is just from a
quick look at my own logs, not reliable except that I'm not surprised
that some log messages had no explicit recipient.)
As Mark says, you should provide examples of the log messages you're
describing.

That depends on what else it is doing. If there are ordinary users or
certain daemons sending email offsite, there should be spam checking.
In an enterprise setting, there might be checks for data exfiltration
or insertion of legal disclaimers.
