It is possible that by doing this you have produced a suboptimal
sources.list. You could show the content.

I have now got ssmtp installed.

I edited the sources.list file to an example I found for Buster,
replacing Buster with Bullseye.

I know I've got some 'extra' lines in the sources.list file, I'll
delete them next.

Thank you,

David.

Please show the content of /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of apt
update.
Additionally, you can use sendmail, I can confirm that this works fine.

Hello. I'm unsure exactly what the above means in practice.
Are you attempting to install onto the client or onto the server?

This is what I see on a standard 32bit installation here.

root@kapop:~# cat /etc/debian_version
11.4

root@kapop:~# uname -a
Linux kapop 5.10.0-16-686 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.127-1 (2022-06-30) i686 GNU/Linux

root@kapop:~# apt update

root@kapop:~# apt list msmtp ssmtp
Listing... Done
msmtp/stable 1.8.11-2.1 i386
ssmtp/stable 2.64-10 i386

So 32bit versions of msmtp and ssmtp are definitely available
in the repository.

Can you show the output you get for this command?
  cat /etc/apt/sources.list

I suggest getting apt working will be a better approach.
Anyway, that's all the advice I can give you and hopefully someone
more familiar with your situation will assist you.
