Well you can try your old config file, but keep a close eye on the log
files to see that all is okay. There is an upgrade document provided
with exim for users upgrading from version 3 to 4. I would suggest
reading it first perhaps.

The thing is that it is a big jump from 3.36 to 4.63. There are many new
variables, functions and basically different ways of doing things now
(ACl's in particular). You need to go through your config file, and see
if the way you handle your mail can be done any better. That is not
something that you will learn (or do) in 5 mins though, you need to work
through the changes from version 3 to 4. The exim docs (newstuff,
changelog and spec.txt) will have most of the changes (the changelog
starts at version 4.21 I think, so the earlier version 4 changes won't
be mentioned). Additionally you could look through the main exim web
site (http://www.exim.org) or perhaps the new user site
(http://www.exim-new-users.co.uk).
