Exim is well-documented; you should take advantage of that. A lot of the
terms and concepts that you asked about are explained very clearly in the
docs.
It is generally considered common courtesy if you read the docs before

specification, which is on the website <

of the source. It is generally
However, I will offer my insight on procmail, which you did ask about.

Exim by default does not use procmail; however, it is very easy to
configure.
You will need to create a procmail transport and a procmail director.
An example of such:
## PROCMAIL TRANSPORT ##
procmail:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
## PROCMAIL DIRECTOR ##
procmail:
driver = localuser
require_files = /usr/bin/procmail
transport = procmail
Make sure that you place those in the appropriate section of the
configuration file.
