sendmail on the local machine should know what the hostname is. its
possible that ssmtp isnt where the problem is but the smtp hander on the
Rx end of things. Try sending emails elsewhere ? to an @gmail.com maybe ?

Alternatively, have you tried nut ? it should be available in most
repo's. Does a fairly good job of sending emails from the command line (
and is what I tend to use )
