Please be careful with this. Check out the comment by Zulakis on this
Stack Exchange page about ssmtp not having been developed
since 2009. not checking the SSL/TLS certificate, and not verifying
the certificate's hostname:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13675703/ssmtp-rewriting-from-field-in-emails

That comment links to this page, which suggests that there was some
development activity in October of 2022, but this bears looking into
further before deciding to use it:
