Just an addennum to my previous post 10 minutes ago:
For ssmtp to work with apache/php in a chrooted environment, some kind of
shell needs to be present in the /bin directory. This seems to be a
limitation of PHP rather than some kind of deficiency with ssmtp. This in
itself is a kind of security risk since one of the main reasons of putting
things in a chrooted jail is to minimise as much as possible the scope for an
attacker to do anything if they do make it into the machine.
best regards
