Thanks for the RTFM pointer.  :-)


Here we go (blank lines edited for readability):

<CVSENV>2006-05-21 22:39:02 dpchrist AT p3533 ~
$ less /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/email-2.3.4.README


<CVSENV>2006-05-21 22:40:39 dpchrist AT p3533 ~
$ less /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/exim-4.62-1.README


Make several attempts at email-config and exim-config.  Here are the final
runs:

<CVSENV>2006-05-21 23:25:41 dpchrist AT p3533 ~
$ email-config
Please enter your From: name (e.g., John Doe) [David Christensen]:
Please enter your From: email address [dpchrist AT p3533 DOT holgerdanske DOT com]:
Please enter your Reply-to: email address []:
Enter 1 to use sendmail or 2 to use a SMTP server [1]:
Please enter the sendmail command line [/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i]:

Please check the configuration file /etc/email/email.conf for correctness.


<CVSENV>2006-05-21 23:28:51 dpchrist AT p3533 ~
$ exim-config

This script sets some key parameters of the exim

WARNING: The usernames displayed above contain spaces.
    They cannot receive mail nor appear in /etc/aliases.
    Edit /etc/passwd and use identifiers without spaces.

OK. The /etc/aliases file contains "postmaster".

OK. The primary hostname p3533.holgerdanske.com
    is already defined in /etc/exim.conf.

INFO: Some programs expect /usr/sbin/sendmail to handle mail.
Currently it is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/exim.

Exim is already installed as a service under account 'LocalSystem'.
Do you want to remove or reinstall it? (yes/no) yes
OK. The exim service was removed.

Do you want to install the exim daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the period of the queue runner, in minutes: [15]
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ntsec notraverse]

Do you want to start the exim daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes
OK. The mail daemon is now accepting mail.
    You can test it with "telnet localhost 25".

INFO: The exim log files are in /var/log/exim.

When everything else fails,
    read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/exim-X-Y.README,
    or look up the documentation on www.exim.org.
Many happy mailings :)


Adjust McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise 8.0i firewall to allow email.exe and
exim-4.62-1.exe to send mail, then continue:

$ email -s test dpchrist AT holgerdanske DOT com < foo
