I just downloaded & installed Cygwin w/ Exim on a Windows 2000 box and...
- ran exim-conf successfully
- chmod-ed all the log files & directories to SYSTEM:root
- created the /var/mail and /var/spool/mail directories.
When I try to start exim service ("net start exim" from Cygwin bash shell)
it says that it cannot be started. When I look in the log files, it says (in
cygrunsrv_err.log):
TCP port "smtp" not found.
I looked in /etc/services and SMTP at port 25 is there (I hadn't touched the
file to begin with).
What should I do?
-John
