No! See the 'Ported Software' page (http://cygwin.com/ported.html) and look for
exim.

exim is a nice MTA that will be handing this very message when I send it. For
exactly the same reason as Milton, I have Cygwin exim running on my local
machine, and have all SMTP servers in Outlook Express set to 127.0.0.1.

As for the issue with bind, there is a package called minires which provides
enough resolver functionality for exim at the same site.

Many many thanks to Pierre Humblet, author of minires and porter of exim!

Max.
