Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ssmtp

I found out that ssmtp has no support for aliases, for users not root,
it always tries to send mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and there is no way
to specify users email address.

Find attached a debdiff which includes AsphyX's patch from gentoo
forums, see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-420358-postdays-0
-postorder-asc-start-25.html

With this patch, you can specify aliases like so:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src$ cat /etc/ssmtp/aliases 
# /etc/ssmtp/aliases
# Simple rcpt aliases
# Mapping done before all other translations (UID checking, appending domain, 
etc.)
#
# Example:
# john: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

matteo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
