I have been playing with ssmtp, trying to set it up as my local mail 
relay.  I would like to have it run as a daemon.  Is there a way to do that?

I tried postfix, but it doesn't compile out of the box (it doesn't know 
what OS "CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.3.6(0.47/3/2)" is) and it this is more of a 
"lets see if I can get this to work" type of project, not something I 
must get working.

 From my reading of the man page it appears that ssmtp does not run as a 
daemon, it needs to be called by MUA to send that mail.  Is this correct?
