freebsd : 10 : mutt : 1.5.23 : with ssmtp?

[Mayuresh Kathe]

hello,
still not given up on using mutt 1.5.23 on my freebsd 10 system.
a bit of experimentation with a lot of failures has led me to
believe that using a mutt compiled without ssl/sasl support but
used in combination with ssmtp might be good enough for me.

does anyone have any experience running mutt with ssmtp?
if yes, may i know if it works and if it works well enough? :)

thanks,
