You can't set it to your local machine, because the reason for using |
| 11 |
ssmtp is that your machine doesn't have an MTA. If you want to send mail |
| 12 |
from the machine without going through a gateway, you need to install a |
| 13 |
proper MTA like Postfix. |

The ssmtp man page should help you understand what it does and doesn't do. |
