I suppose it comes from mail-mta/ssmtp, but I do not understand.
Some persmission problem? Where does ssmtp want to write?

You could try 'strace -p 7233' to see if it shows where the attempted write is 
occuring. Uid=0 means root and I don't imagine there's many places root cant 
write.

The problem is, there is no more any process with id 7233,
so strace finds nothing. BTW, I have found a following file
in /root :

# ls -l /root/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root ssmtp    4 Sep  8 19:00 dead.letter

There are only 4 or 5 empty lines in it, nothing more.
It has been created at the time of the last such an entry
in /var/log/messages :

2009-09-08T19:00:13+00:00 obelix sSMTP[27923]: 421 4.3.0 collect:

I think these two events are somehow tied together. Any more ideas?
