+Update 4 April 2015:
+Gmail stopped sending, couldn't connect to smtp server per /var/log/maillog errors.  It suddenly started working again. Used "swaks" to troubleshoot per http://nekhbet.com/ssmtp_yahoo.shtml and saw this error:
+IO::Socket::INET6: connect: Network is unreachable
+Test was:  $ swaks -tls -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -s smtp.mail.yahoo.com:587 -a LOGIN
+Seemed to be an IPv6 problem.

+Gmail stopped working.
+This did not work: https://productforums.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/gmail/2tK2fR7yW-k;context-place=forum/gmail
+Try a PHP or Perl solution, but does it require SSMTP or MSMTP?
+Final answer was to configure [[gmail_as_a_relay_on_linux|Gmail as a Relay]]
