Jamie, I realize that sometimes debugging can be a stressful job. If you would read the documentation at <http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html>, specifically the section located at <http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail> and follow the directions, it would save you a lot of work. Better yet, provide output from the postfinger tool. This can be found at http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger. Post the complete, unmungled results here and the Postfix gurus can give you the assistance you need. The idea that you are "pretty > certain that our machine isn't compromised" is certainly not comforting at all. If you are not positive, then you have a problem.
