Edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf to use ssmtp instead of sendmail.  "man 
mailer.conf" if you're not sure what's going on.  If you installed 
via ports, you can just use "make replace".

You'll also want to completely disable sendmail (easier said than 
done.)  In rc.conf, add:
sendmail_enable="NONE"    # Run the sendmail inbound daemon (YES/NO/NONE).
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"  # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO).
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"    # Start a localhost-only MTA for mail submission
