Go to <http://www.exim.org/>, in the top-left frame click on
"Documentation and FAQs". Then read "Exim Overview" and look at "The
Exim Specification", specifically section 3, "How Exim delivers mail".

If you want a tutorial (or simply a gentler read) then perhaps the book
might interest you? Written by Philip Hazel, Exim's author, and
published by O'Reilly.
