Until an active URL is found for the ssmtp sources, this package should be marked [BRK] broken. According to http://larve.net/people/hugo/2001/02/ssmtp/, it seems that the ssmtp project would be replaced with the bssmtp project. However bssmtp was then abandoned as well. Our last good OpenPKG package was ssmtp-2.39.1-20020206, and can still be used.
