Is that local users as in local LAN users?
If it is, then the configuration is really simple, look at the top of
exim.conf for the line that defines relay_from_hosts, add your LAN to
that list. For instance, I have:
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1:192.168.10.0/24

If you want users to be able to send mail from anywhere (i.e. outside
your LAN) then just make sure authentication is enabled (by default it
is), that's a couple of lines like this:
accept authenticated = *
control = submission
Of course they have to be in the correct place, but as I said, those
come with the default configuration.
