That was so obvious!
When I ran the exim -d -bt command, I got this message:
/cygdrive/d/XHOME/nicollya/.forward does not exist
I then listed my .forward file:
$ ls ~/.forward
/cygdrive/d/XHOME/.forward
For some reason, exim and cygwin don't find my HOME at the same place.
A symbolic link and, yeepee! it works.
Thank you so much for your help.
