two things: the latest ssmtp is plagued by some Debian logic, so use
ssmtp-2.61-r2 (gentoo-x86 is a bit stubborn on this one -- it had to go
stable, but it's totally broken).  Adittionally, the error message you
get simply sounds as if they don't like you to use their mailserver for
relaying (which makes sense), did you forget to use smtps with
authorisation perhaps?
