Yep, these typos are killing me. That got ssmtp working, and I'm sending 
mail out quite nicely with mutt now. However, into each life a little 
rain must fall. Fetchmail is no longer working. After googling the error 
  message I found that fetchmail uses sendmail to deliver mail to my 
mail spool, and I disabled sendmail after installing ssmtp. Hoepfully I 
can find a way to get fetchmail to deliver directly to my spool. Back to 
the man pages.

Thanks for your help.
