Remote clients can only use postfix by talking SMTP.
SMTP doesn't know about "local mailboxes" it just knows about
addresses. Postfix is no different it hides the information about the
local mailboxes which exist and no you can't temporarily use it to
store messages in a mailbox.
In that respect sendmail, qmail and other SMTP servers are no
different.
Perhaps you are talking about an imap server which can I think do this.
