Andreas Metzler maintains Exim 4 packages backported from unstable for
Woody.  Put these in your sources.list file.

### Andreas Metzler's Exim v4 packages, backported from sid
deb http://www.logic.univie.ac.at/~ametzler/debian/exim4manpages/ woody/
deb http://www.logic.univie.ac.at/~ametzler/debian/gnutls/ woody/

Then do an apt-get update ; apt-get install exim4-daemon-{light|heavy}
depending on your needs. 

If you grab the Debian source package for SA-Exim from the unstable tree,
you can extract it and build it for Woody with no modifications.

  You will have to grab the Exim 4 package from unstable or testing.
It'll require some dependencies also be backported, but for the most part,
this is straight forward.  The biggest issue I had was that OpenLDAP is
difficult to update, and exim requires it to build exim-daemon-heavy, but
I simply setup an exim-daemon-custom build to match heavy, minus the LDAP
support, and overrode the dependency checks when I rebuilt it.

  I'm pretty sure that you'll need to either recompile to use Exim 4 on
stable, or do a significant upgrade.  I personally recompile everything.
