Assuming your users' mail is stored on the SMTP server, typically for
access via IMAP or POP3, how do you intend that the mail gets from Exim to
whatever mail store you use? If you deliver via SMTP then, by definition,
you are delivering to an SMTP server of some sort. Eventually the mail
must leave the SMTP server environment and be put in a mail store of some
sort: that process is called 'local delivery' and that is what you intend
to omit.
