This is weird.

Sending with ssmtp directly works. Could it be something with the 
configuration of ssmtp? Here's what I have:

rsteff@moonguide:~$ cat /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
#
# The following is based on instructions found at

#

mailhub=smtp.comcast.net
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
AuthPass=*****************
UseSTARTTLS=yes
UseTLS=yes
FromLineOverride=yes
rsteff@moonguide:~$
