You can probably just send the mail there. Email is email. (if
the ms server will accept mail from your interfaces, that is).

However, it's generally easier to use a simple SMTP utility like
ssmtp for a job like this, rather than a full-featured MTA like
postfix.

But if you know postfix, use it.

It's the ms server that will be relaying, not yours :-)
