More installing...*sigh*...The big problem with Windows is that 
everything is self contained so everything is multi-megabyte 
bloatware. The big problem with unix is that nothing is self 
contained so you have to install one thing, find it doesn't work, 
install something else, install something else... :)

I did not run /usr./bin/ssmtp-config. I don't recall the ssmtp man 
page saying I should do so. I'm starting to think the documentation 
for some components of Cygwin could be improved a touch.
