 +Update 26 January 2014:
 +
 +Gmail stopped sending, found information at [[http://serverfault.com/questions/560728/linux-ssmtp-error-cannot-open-smtp-gmail-com587]]
 +
 +Add this line to /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
 +
 +TLS_CA_File=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
 +
 +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.

 +4 November 2015
 +
 +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]]
