Postfix is an excellent MTA and to be highly recommended but it is not a=20
Message Store.
Exchange Server is a monolithic application which combines the tasks of=20
an MTA, MDA, and a Message Store (as well as non-mail tasks which Rob=20
mentioned).
You will need a Message Store to accept final delivery and hold the=20
email - Postfix does not do this. I suggest the Cyrus IMAP server which=20
also contains Sieve, an MDA.
There are many other combinations of MTA/MDA/Message Stores available.
There are tools for moving messages from/to just about anything.=20
Enabling Exchange Server's IMAP service should make it fairly simple.
