Hi,

You don't add users in Exim. By default, Exim will look for system users so as
to drop mail in their mailboxes. So the command you are looking for here is
adduser.
e.g.
    $ adduser usman
There are other ways [ in fact, you are encouraged to use such ] of creating
e-mail accounts on your box. You can have users kept in a flat file or in a
database like MySQL. If you search the archives and on the net, you will find
various ways on how to do this and more.
