I have tried this with the firewall turned off, and I still cannot connect. 
The port is in the allow list, so it should work anyways.  Would AVG or 
SpySweeper block the pop3 and imap ports?  Exim appears to work fine, and I 
rather doubt that the previously named programs would not block smtp as 
well.

I added -d (debugging) to the arguments list in the hopes that it would 
yield further information on the problem.

PATH has "c:\cygwin\bin" in it.
