Solved; it looks like my exim got updated and it was looking for an executable with the wrong version number. I didn't see an error message that gave me a clue about the problem, though, until I went into my nndraft:queue group and tried to send all messages. Maybe the regular mail sending process could be fixed to yield better error messages. > Furthermore, now my IMAP doesn't work either That was a simple matter of getting cygwin back into my PATH. > I haven't tracked this one down yet but I'm guessing it's due to the > lack of a non-cygwin openssl on my system. I still would love to be cygwin-independent, to avoid this sort of problem. Does anybody know if openssl and exim can be had without a cygwin dependency? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
