Did you tweak the virtual/mailx ebuild to include ssmtp? apcupsd
pulls in virtual/mailx which has...
RDEPEND="|| ( mail-client/mailx
mail-client/nail
net-mail/mailutils )"
I already use ssmtp as my mail client (check the headers). But it
looks like it'll pull in mailx. I've confirmed that with...
emerge -pv apcupsd
