I have updated the version of ssmtp to 2.60.9-3. The config-file generator ssmtp-config now uses bash and readline for input, allowing those using "cmd" to successfully backspace. No other changes.
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. The ssmtp package is in the Mail category. ssmtp is an extremely simple sendmail replacement, which forwards messages to a mailhub (e.g., your ISP's outgoing mail server), and does nothing else. Please read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.60.9.README for configuration information.
