No worries, it's not the worst I have seen.

The obvious move, if you want to be able access the mail via 'webmail'
just in case would be to create two aliases for you users in Postfix's
virtual mail map file and make some corresponding entries in the virtual
mail box map. So what you have is:

virtual-aliases

maruscya at mydomain.it marcuscya at gateway.maydomain.it 
marcuscya at exchange.mydomain.it

virtual-mailbox-maps

marcuscya at gateway.maydomain.it  /path/to/virt/mailboxes/marcuscya/.maildir/

transport-map

exchange.mydomain.it  relay:[ip.add.exchane.box]

postmap all of these files and amend Postfix's main.cf appropriately

I would then use something like Courier to manage the IMAP connection and
set the imap.cf file to delete mail in the inbox over x days old so you
don't have Gb's of mail that you users won't need (Unless you need/ want
to retain an archive).

This will then have all your mail scanned by MailScanner with one copy
dropped into individual gateway mailboxes and to the Exchange box, which
is what I think you want to do?
