Upgrading? Implies you had Exim 3 before. If so, did the Exim 3 work?
If you did, for what you're attempting now there is no difference
between Exim v3 and Exim v4.
At least, if you are compiling yourself and have made/edited your own
Makefile.
You seem to be running Exim on Linux. Are you? What Linux?
Fast/Alltheweb think's it's Suse (because of 'killproc').

No. Perhaps it is respawning because it is trying to do something it
can't.
What does 'ps aux | grep exim | grep -v grep' tell you about the user ID
that Exim's running under? _Not_ 'ps -ax', but 'ps -aux'.

1: You don't need 'daemon', since you give '-bd' as option.
2: What's 'exim3'? Where do you get that from? Why isn't it just 'exim'
or even 'exim4'?
3: - there is no option for queue running, e.g. '-q15m'.
4: Why do you include the config file in the command? Why do you call it
"config.r3"? Standard for you would be /usr/exim/configure, unless you
specified something else in Makefile.

This isn't possible, neither in the Exim config, nor the Makefile. What
you have above will have no effect on anything. You should have
"exim_user" and "exim_group", not the above. These should be existing
users, or you can make new users and groups: I have user=exim and
group=mail. 'exim' should then be a member of group 'mail'.
Moreover, there isn't normally a user called nobdy. It's "nobody".

Yes, well, configure the user and group correctly, and as root
chown/chrgrp user and group on /usr/exim/spool/log.
You'll also have to do the same on the users' (localparts') mail
directory (/var/mail or /var/spool/mail). You might also have to set the
sticky bit on this directory ('chmod a+t /var/mail' or whatever it is).

Don't know where this is coming from. Do you have the wrong 'group' or
'user' set in the router? If so, get rid of them and substitute
'check_local_user', after making the correct user and group for Exim (so
that they're present in /etc/passwd and /etc/group).

Exactly.
