ssmtp startup

[Glicks]

I have that ssmtp on my system and wonder, how to start it up. There is no smtp, mail or ssmtp script, so an rc-update does not work on either of those.
So, how do I make it come up during boot ? Itis pretty much all I need so no need to use postfix or any other full featured mta.

Thanks for your reply. That means, if I do not want to use it with inetd (do not feel like installing inetd for a single service), but standalone I need to write a startup script on my own. Correct ?
Or is ssmtp not capable of running stand alone ? Haven't found anything regarding this in the manpage

correct.. if you dont want to use inetd, you have to make your own start/stop script (or use the default local.start local.stop (at least i saw these somewhere))

ssmtp standalone.. good question.... the only solution with exim if found was to use sslwrap..
