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).
