Good, but when you ran exim-config you must have seen: WARNING: You have defined an "exim" user in /etc/passwd. This is an advanced feature, do not use it initially. The exim README has a section about using that. I will move the warning after the point where cygrunsrv fails, so that the two outputs are easier to correlate.
