I have an exim 4.51 mail server receiving mail for various domains.

We turned on a new domain to be served by our server yesterday.
freestylefund.com . They were previously with purehost or someone. I
added freestylefund.com to our "domainlist local_domains" config  and
also added it to my ldap database which is used for delivery.   Most
mail to this domain from outside is being delivered just fine. The DNS changeover was yesterday afternoon. A few people are not able to send mail to this domain. I get no clue of anything at all related to these senders in our reject log (by name, by IP, by anything). They all seem
to coincidentally (or not) be running MS  Exchange...

If there's nothing in your log it cannot conceivably be Exim's fault.

That is what I think.

Could it be that the users have bad cached the DNS records for too long?

Could be. The cache settings were not set that high but you never know with exchange. This is what I expect the problem is.

In fact, I was going to try and say some more here but I just deleted it because it occurred to me that the old mail server may be saying to the exchange server that it cannot relay on since it would have updated its own dns. They did not turn off the old service yet but since the MX record no longer points to them they are trying to send it on to us...

What servers are sending those bounce messages? What machines are
mars.kattenlaw.com and actii-1.ACTIIPARTNERS.local?

They seem to be the local exchange servers that returned the error to the users who were trying to send email. (They forwarded the errors on to help us diagnose the problem). I can receive mail in my domain from them and my exim runs both domains in the same config.
