I dunno either, but gave it a try anyway:
dpchrist@p42800e:~$ rebaseall
ReBaseImage (/usr/bin/cygcrypt-0.dll) failed with last error = 6

Test it with Windows telnet:

Connecting To cloud.he.net...Could not open connection to the host,

So, Cygwin exim and Windows telnet both can't connect to cloud.he.net on port
25, yet Outlook sends mail via that host... (?)
Check Windows Firewall -- oops! I disabled the exception for SMTP... Turning
it back on and retrying -- nope. Restarting and retrying -- nope. Set Windows
Firewall to "Don't allow exceptions", unplug Cygwin host from LAN, plug directly
into ADSL modem, run ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew, and try telnet again
-- telnet still can't see cloud.he.net on port 25. ping can see it. I don't
get it...
Test it on the Debian box for comparison:
dpchrist@p166d302:~$ telnet cloud.he.net 25
