exim on cygwin is great


Just testing my exim setup on Windows 98, heh-heh.

I'm behind a firewall at school here, so I took this from the Exim FAQ

It was so easy. I think this was the only configuration I needed
to do, other than run the daemon, exim -bd -q15m, and in mutt,
set sendmail="/usr/bin/exim -i", following Pierre Humblet's
instructions in /usr/doc/Cygwin/exim-4.10-1.README

So, it's goodbye ssmtp.
