Forget about ssmtp! Really.
As you just realize it's not easy to use and if you want to send files
it's not useable at all, since it has a limit of mails <= 4k size.
Use either blat, which is really a cool tool and should work fine under
cygwin too. It has all you need, is stable, reliable, just great software.
Or if you like to have something more like a real "sendmail"-wrapper
(just forwarding), you can easily write your own small wrapper in perl
or python, which will be better than ssmtp in just a few lines of code...
I can send you mine as an example, if you're interested.
Cheers,
Tino
