Hi Roelf,

Thanks for your reply.

I am running the Cygwin Server on a static public IP. Also, my primary SMTP server has also a public and static IP with a world reachable MX record.

My problem is with the below router configuration which works in Exim running under FreeBSD or Linux:

send_to_gateway:
     driver = manualroute
     transport = remote_smtp
     route_list = * primary.mx.smtp.server

The above router works in FreeBSD/Linux but the same configuration does not work in Win2K/Cygwin.

I get the error:


router send_to_gateway: cannot find router driver "manaulroute".

Can you shed some light on this?
