Postfix is an excellent MTA and to be highly recommended but it is not a
Message Store.
Exchange Server is a monolithic application which combines the tasks of
an MTA, MDA, and a Message Store (as well as non-mail tasks which Rob
mentioned).
You will need a Message Store to accept final delivery and hold the
email - Postfix does not do this. I suggest the Cyrus IMAP server which
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.
Enabling Exchange Server's IMAP service should make it fairly simple.
