Some persmission problem? Where does ssmtp want to write? You could try 'strace -p 7233' to see if it shows where the attempted write is occuring. Uid=0 means root and I don't imagine there's many places root cant write. The problem is, there is no more any process with id 7233, so strace finds nothing. BTW, I have found a following file in /root : # ls -l /root/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root ssmtp4 Sep 8 19:00 dead.letter There are only 4 or 5 empty lines in it, nothing more.
