I found ssmtp couldn't cope with mail my various systems were
generating, something about fixed maximum buffer lengths from memory.

Not to mention <http://bugs.debian.org/508759>.

The fact that a "simple" MTA can have such bugs, for so long with
nothing being done, persuaded me to look at alternatives. I didn't even
bother complaining about the maximum buffer length problem. I went to
esmtp, and haven't had any problems since.

I don't know, maybe this has been fixed since then, but it seemed like
poor program design to me that it can't cope with what appears to
be a valid (and legitimate) email.
