  Did you tweak the virtual/mailx ebuild to include ssmtp?  apcupsd
pulls in virtual/mailx which has...

RDEPEND="|| (   mail-client/mailx
                                mail-client/nail
                                net-mail/mailutils )"

  I already use ssmtp as my mail client (check the headers).  But it
looks like it'll pull in mailx.  I've confirmed that with...

emerge -pv apcupsd
