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
