You want to receive mails on your user account on your local box? |

This can't be done with SSMTP. As the description already says: |

|

Description: Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub |
| 15 |
|

SSMTP can't do local delivery. |

Now, you could setup your system so, that it sends the mail to some |
| 19 |
other system and then you access that other system with POP3/IMAP |
| 20 |
to get the mail. But that's of course not your local account. |
