This is working fine. But there are other PCs in the LAN, which I
would also like to get status emails from. Being not the only one
with root access there, I do not want to duplicate the ssmtp setup
because of the password stored in ssmtp.conf.

??? What password in ssmtp.conf ???  My /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf has 4
uncommented lines.  They are...
...

If you set it up to email you stuff using e.g. your email account, you would
also need authentication credentials:

Ya, but he's got a Postfix server listening on that LAN, so the other machines 
(using ssmtp) don't need to authenticate to that.

This thread has become far too complicated. Postfix can be set up editing only 
about 3 lines lines in its config file.

Stroller.



I dont't think you have followed the thread correctly. The OP did say he had a user/pass in his ssmtpd.conf which I assumed was for accessing the final relay host. That was the reason for the extra lines.
