There is no mail on the package ssmtp.  Try first 'man ssmtp' and see if
the description is enough to do what you want, typically something like
'ssmtp my_recipient AT my_domain DOT com -f my_address AT my_domain DOT com <<EOF
Subject: This is a test
This is the message contents.
EOF'
is enough.

I you want something more complicated then perhaps you need to install
email.
