Dear Tony,

Once again thank you for taking the trouble to help me!

Ok. It is just the default value. Nothing else added. I do not know
most of the options therefore I prefere to work with the default
values and expand as learn more.

It is here:

Thank you again!

BTW - there is another MTA on this machine - Mercury. But I want to
gradually replace it with exim as on this particular machine it is
chimeric at best. Now, I do take care to stop Mercury before starting
exim so that they do not interrupt each other. My machine is Windows
XP Pro (sorry about that - I already feel guilty enough ;-) but at
present I have no other choice than to keep it.

I am trying to run exim under cygwin in this environment.

Thanks!
