Can the Linux machine communicate directly with the internet at large?

If not, most of this is Exchange configuration. I.e. Exchange needs to
route incoming mail to the lists.domain.com domain to the Linux
machine. This may require an MX record to first route mail to
lists.domain.com to the Exchange server, and something to tell
exchange where to send this mail.

Also, Postfix will need to be configured to route all mail to the
Exchange server and Exchange configured to relay mail from the Linux
machine.

OTOH, if the Linux machine can communicate with the internet, it seems
you can bypass Exchange alltogether and let the Linux machine handle
its own incoming and outgoing mail.
