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.
