What does it not do for you, and what needs maintenance? It seemed to be losing messages. Maybe that's what non-queueing MTA's do if the server doesn't respond. But there was no indication of a specific error other than the nonzero exit status. I didn't mean to complain about ssmtp so much as switch to something that implements the same basic idea but is currently maintained. Maybe switching will fix the problem, maybe it won't. Still worth changing, I think. And msmtp is a Cygwin package and should have realistic dependencies. I had recently discovered this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSMTP, which has the best documentation I have seen for ssmtp. Still, the page itself suggests using msmtp instead. Jon Turney reports (in this list) that the msmtp dependencies have been fixed and I confirm that they are. Thanks to all!
