According to the Debian sSMTP page the file permission should be '0640' and belonging to the 'root:mail'.

VERY IMPORTANT !!! If other people have access to this computer Your GMAIL Password is left unencrypted in this file so make sure you have a strong root password, and make sure you change the permissions of this file to be 640: chown root:mail /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf chmod 640 /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
