Are you referring to local delivery? Exim by default delivers to standard 'mbox' files in /var/spool for local users, just like sendmail. However, it could be configured for other formats like Maildir (with a managed mount), or processed with procmail, forwarded, piped, etc. Basically all the standard unix mail things are supported.
