It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish.
If you simply want to have another host known to your box
you can add an entry to /etc/hosts.
 
OTOH, if you're trying to relay mail to your exchange server
you need to add a "relayhost" entry to your /etc/postfix/main.cf file.

I relay mail from my linux box to an exchange server, and my
main.cf file has:
 
relayhost = xxxx.com

Note that I am using the name of the exchange server, not the
hard coded IP address.
