Note that sSMTP does not perform server certificate verification, thus
allowing, e.g., credential stealing via MITM attacks. Furthermore, it
neglects to document this failing, although we're working on this ;)

I'm not sure what you mean by "empty the local queue". The way ssmtp
works is that programs (e.g., the cron daemon) that want to send
mail invoke ssmtp via the 'sendmail' command (which smtp provides a
version of).

That is not a problem for me, all mail traffic will be inside out own LAN.
The wiki has very little info. Like, if it is not a daemon then how does the mail even leave the system? When will the program become active to send the mail to the smarthost?
Where can I find more info? It seems this might be my lightweight solution. Using Google for ssmtp gives mostly links to secure smtp.

ssmtp seems more a lightweight solution for handing off email to an
*external* smarthost. There is no local queue or daemon.

Maybe for your lan-only case opensmtpd might be the ticket.
