I was just following the README:

       cygrunsrv -I exim -p /usr/bin/exim -e CYGWIN=ntsec \
         -a "-bdf -q15m" -d "Exim Mail Transfer Agent" \
         -1 /var/log/exim/cygrunsrv_out.log -2 /var/log/exim/cygrunsrv_err.log

Should I no longer use the "-d" option?

I tried the above is still no luck:

    $ id
    uid=18(SYSTEM) gid=544(Administrators) groups=544(Administrators)
    $ ~jt/src/exim-4.12-3/build-CYGWIN-i386/exim -bdf -q15m

I run all of the above under the LocalSystem account.

Are you asking me specifically?  Or, is this a rhetorical question for
other Cygwin developers too?  Given my experience trying to debug this
problem, I guess that I would vote "yes".

Thanks,
