+1 to getting rid of ssmtp. But I'm not sure that msmtp is the best
replacement.
One of the greatest things that bugs me about ssmtp is that if the
mailserver is not available, it hangs for a while, and then it loses the
email.
Where I need a simple mail relay, I've gone with nullmailer instead,
because it supports the features, and it explicitly has a lightweight
daemon mode that queues mail to send.
