Postfix doesn't care if the receiving server runs Exchange 5.5,
Exchange 2003, or something completely different.

Yes and yes.

I assume that domains hosted by Exchange itself will be accepted
regardless. Anyway, this is an Exchange question.

You've answered your own question; use the transport table. Or, if DNS
reports the Exchange server as the MX for the domain(s) in question
you don't have to do anything at all.

You don't need any accounts for the Postfix part, just a transport table
that routes certain recipients (or whole domains) to the Exchange server
(assuming DNS won't do that job for us). You may need accounts for
fetchmail, but since you said that the fetchmail part already is covered
I'm confused.
