The ssmtp cannot handle that stuff. SSMTP is only for getting Mail generated on the Firewall off to a mail-relay. This will be Mail like Cron Reports, Alerts and stuff. A Problem with this software is, that is has no queue. I think especially for Alerts and important reports this is a no-go- Another Solution can be "serialmail" from DJB (qmail). It can be used to make mail-queues and flush them to an external host. Then we only need a sendmail emulation (like ssmtp provides). For Mail Proxy, I would suggest Optuse SMTPD (possibly in combination with ssmtp) For Mail-Relays/Comm-Server I think qmail is one of the more secure solutions. But on the Other hand, the Comm-server Issue is outside the scope of the basic work we have to do here, therefore: no religious war on that topic. Hmm.. I think we don't have the Optuse smtpd as an Debian Package, so I will do that.
