Skip,

Do you mean other than just making a normal linux user?  That's how my exim 
delivers mail (just like sendmail).  Or do you mean something else by adding 
users?  Or do you mean so users can download?  Neither exim nor sendmail is a 
POP3 or IMAP server, so if you need POP or IMAP support, you must install an 
imap or pop server like courier-imap, qpopper or something similar.
