no, ssmtp is a minimalitic sendmail function, that just sends email, not
a full MTA. 

This is installed when you havent anything else installed (for cron
fex.. )  just to get something.

removing ssmtp will not hose your system, replacing it with exim,
postfix, qmail or sendmail are all possible solutions.
