Exim is telling you it doesn't know who those users are in that
domain, thus it can't deliver.  Since the domain is effectively
localhost I would guess that you don't have local delivery configured.
Run exim-config (or whatever it is called, something similar) and try
reconfiguring it.

Taking a look at my /etc/exim/exim.conf I notice the following section:

---------------------------
# Specify your local domains as a colon-separated list here. If this
# option # is not set (i.e. not mentioned in the configuration file),
# the # qualify_recipient value is used as the only local domain. If
# you do not want # to do any local deliveries, uncomment the
# following line, but do not supply # any data for it. This sets
# local_domains to an empty string, which is not # the same as not
# mentioning it at all. An empty string specifies that there # are no
# local domains; not setting it at all causes the default value (the #
# setting of qualify_recipient) to be used.

local_domains = localhost:hudson

---------------------------

I think you will have to add callerio to local_domains.  Perhaps just
piscat.nj will suffice, I'm not sure.
