SSMTP doesn't do any local queing. It connects to the destination server and sends output as it is received. Where we have long-running cron jobs, cron will launch ssmtp, and the resulting SMTP session will remain open until the job finishes and output is closed. The submit timeout causes submit to close, while the SMTP session stays open and fails later, unable to write to the pipe to the submit process (IIRC).
If it's connecting via SMTP, the SMTP timeout is much shorter, and should kick in much earlier. If it's a local connection, I don't see the point of SSMTP. What value does it add, exactly, versus sending mail directly.
And, in any case, starting sendmail/submit, then doing nothing for half an hour, that seems rather broken to me. The timeout is not issue, here. Something's wrong with this entire concept.
