This is because in general[*] both sendmail and exim do not "contain"
user accounts, and the user mail spool is also external to them. Both
will in a normal configuration work off the hosting unix system's user
database, and deliver to the default mail spool. So its not an issue.
[*] NOTE
Its possible to configure either exim or sendmail to have their own
special user database and/or a separate mail spool using one of many
different formats. However if you have done a specific config like this
you really ought to know how it works, and at least hint as to what teh
setup is before asking questions on the list.
