I don't have any experience with sendmail on cygwin, but I'm
in the processing of porting Khoros Pro 2001 (A visual
programming and software development environment with lots
of dataprocessing/visualization routines) to cygwin.
My experience is that while cygwin is noticably slower than the
same code running on a linux box, it is not an extreme performance
hit. It's certainly fast enough for our X applications to stay
responsive enough. So, unless you're mail server will be
handling a ton of email at a time, I'd guess cygwin will be
able to handle it.
