Using your example, test.com should be listed in /etc/mail/relay-domains
and NOT in /etc/mail/local-host-names.

I would highly recommend you implement milter-ahead and set your
Exchange server(s) to reject unknown recipients.

In /etc/mail/access, remove:

test.com			RELAY
TO:user at test.com    	RELAY
TO:test.com         	ERROR:5.1.1:550 User unknown
