IIRC, makepasswd creates a pseudo-/etc/passwd file on
CygWin by using the Windows local accounts (on NT-class
machines) -- and you can add additional users following
the same format.

This line in the general Exim configuration sets up
"daily" logs of the form erejectDATE.log, emainDATE.log,
but epanic.log remains a "single" log since it is not
supposed to have very many entries (on a working system):
log_file_path = /var/log/exim/e%s%D.log
Hopefully someone else will be kind enough to help you with
the authentication issues since I am not an expert on those.
