Exim 3.

Separates sections with "end", has the sections in a fixed order, has a
separate concept of "Directors" in addition to "Routers" (they're now
both called Routers).

Inside the Exim4 source directory you'll find "convert4r4.src" (which
will get made into a .src-less version during the build process). That
will read in an Exim 3 config file and emit an Exim 4 config file.

If you don't like the output of that, then start from the default config
file for Exim 4, look over what the script generated for you and try to
merge the two. The documentation on LDAP will be useful:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch09.html#SECTldap

The Exim docs are comprehensive, which can make them daunting. You
should try to find the time to read at least:
Chapter 6 - The Exim run time configuration file
Chapter 7 - The default configuration file
Chapter 9 - File and database lookups
Chapter 22 - The redirect router
Chapter 40 - Access control lists
to understand what you're doing when you integrate LDAP into Exim.
