I was using ssmtp for a while but I eventually dumped it and switched to a real mail transport (postfix).
ssmtp makes one attempt and one attempt only to send mail. If that fails it just drops it. It does not have any ability to queue or retry mail. sendmail and postfix work just fine out of the box so unless you have a compelling reason not to use them I wouldn't recommend ssmtp.
