RE: sssssh . . . qmail-send is listening

Using "xhost +" and setting your DISPLAY variable correctly
is...well...obvious, but that's my two cents. Here's my 

	C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat

with REM's removed:

@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0

SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin
SET RUN=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\run -p /usr/X11R6/bin

SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%

SET XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
SET XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt
SET XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
SET XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH
attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0

:CLEANUP-FINISH
if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix

if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" goto OS_NT

echo startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows 95/98/Me

goto STARTUP

:OS_NT

echo startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

:STARTUP

%RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -emulate3buttons 25

%RUN% xterm -fg rgb:ff/cc/99 -bg rgb:00/22/44 -cr red -e /usr/bin/bash
-l

Keep your Eye on the Ball,
Your Shoulder to the Wheel,
Your Nose to the Grindstone,
Your Feet on the Ground,
Your Head on your Shoulders.
Now... try to get something DONE!
