Hi Sabahattin,

IIRC, there is actual a sendmail port somewhere, very old version
though.

There is a neat modern one, Xmailserver from xmailserver.org.  It is
available already as native Windows, Linux, Free-/OpenBSD and Solaris
version, I would really like to have a port to cygwin, but the author
isn't interested, there is no need to do this he says.  Since he uses
special Linux features, the Linux parts of the code cannot be compiled
on cygwin.

You have it already, '-mno-cygwin' creates binaries linked against
msvcrt with the cygwin gcc.
