would not be ssmtp the simples choice for such an
enviroment (if the OP does not want to use fetchmail of
course, otherwise it will create a loop i belive)

it supports address rewriting, tls, smtp auth ...
everything that is needed for a simple envirement
It also does not support local email (like when dpkg sends
emails with release notes).
it does.... (i have it running in my chroot...) i don't know
though if it supports rewriting of destination addreses for users
with uid > 1000, that could lead to problems (it can rewrite
from: for all users), it has an option however for which address
mails for uid < 1000 should go to (which covers, for example, the
apt-lischanges mails)

The apt Description gives a different impression:

Description: extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system
to a mail hub
A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a
system to your mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or
other dangerous things - no mail spool to poke around in,
and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply
forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy
configuration.
and that does not collide with what i have said...
it delivers lokal mail...to your normal mail box so you can read it with
the rest of your mail in your favourite mua...

(of course some people like me do it the other way around most of the
time...use fetchmail to get your mail to the loakal spool and then
distribute it with procmail into a Maildir (with subfolders of course))
