Public bug reported:

I'm supporting an XEmacs/VM user.  When he sends mail through VM, it
calls "/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem -odb -t".  This was failing in various
ways so I finally traced it to see what was happening.  I found that the
-odb switch is causing ssmtp to ignore ssmtp.conf.

% strace -f /usr/lib/sendmail -t </tmp/letter 2>&1 | grep ssmtp                 
                                                    ~
open("/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/ssmtp/revaliases", O_RDONLY) = 3
% strace -f /usr/lib/sendmail -odb -t </tmp/letter 2>&1 | grep ssmtp            
                                                    ~
open("/etc/ssmtp/revaliases", O_RDONLY) = 3
