I'm not entirely clear on what you're using as a mail user agent.  Are
you still using KMail as your MUA, but using ssmtp to send the emails to
your SMTP server, or have you switched MUAs when you started using ssmtp?

Chris Brennan suggested you send more information; in addition to
answering my question, it might be useful to give us the information
Chris requested -- but make sure you obscure any username/password
information.
