Indeed it is. It was a simple install. I found examples with Google 
showing me what needed to be in the config file. I successfully sent 
myself a test message from the command line.

To use ssmtp from the command line requires the use of sudo. If I put 
the call in crontab does that mean that I don't have to use sudo?
