Mail from cron yields error


Hi gurus,

In the process of mailing messages using cron, I have created
/var/cron/tabs/sysaccount:
SHELL=/bin/sh
# mail any output to 'sysaccount', no matter whose crontab this is
MAILTO=sysaccount
#
0 * * * * /cygdrive/h/blat/blat.exe ssmtp -f magr40 at fake dot se -f
sysaccount at rrback -server mail.fake.se -s "Subject"

However no mail is sent.

I have tested blat manually and it sends mail as expected.

/etc/ssmtp/revaliases contains comments only.
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf contains:
root=postmaster
mailhub=mail.fake.se
hostname=rrback

Windows Event Log contains the following entries:
Source: sSMTP mail
User:   RRBACK\sysaccount
Computer: RRBACK
Description: The description for Event ID (0) in Source (sSMTP
mail) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the
necessary registry information or message DLL files to display
messages from a remote computer. The following information is
part of the event: sSMTP mail: PID 856: /usr/sbin/ssmtp sent
mail for sysaccount.
Source: /USR/SBIN/CRON
User:   NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: RRBACK
Description: The description for Event ID (0) in Source
(USR/SBIN/CRON) cannot be found. The local computer may not
have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to
display messages from a remote computer. The following
information is part of the event: /USR/SBIN/CRON: PID 1012:
(sysaccount) MAIL (mailed 124 bytes of output but got status:
0xffffffff).

What have I missed ?
