funny, see what my strace of my ssmtp version (2.61-12) shows:
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY) = 4
...two times.
looking at ssmtp sources it showed that ssmtp only uses gethostbyname() libc
functions, which uses nsswitch.conf and according to it is uses hosts, DNS
or different functions for translating host names and IPs. Please check if
you haven't made mistake on your side.
I haven't found any mention about ssmtp using MX records nor I think it
should. see bug 351995 for more info.
