The problem with ssmtp is that it doesn't have a queue. That means
if it can't deliver the message to another server immediately, it
fails and doesn't deliver the message at all.
This might work for some people -- people with constant net connections
or who don't mind waiting for demand-dialed ppp every time they want
to send a message.
Also, remember that by default cron sends error messages to "root",
which would be root on whatever machine you configure ssmtp to
hand messages over to.
