Help installing SSMTP

[jamestford]

I've got to confess, I have zero experience with freebsd but love pfsense and have been running it for five years without issue. I'd like to install ssmtp so we can relay mail outbound from multiple inside services but have no clue how to install packages manually on a freebsd system. Could someone point me in the right direction.

But you should really try to avoid it if you can. As it says there, you may break the firewall if it overwrites something that we patch.

What about setting up the internal mail clients using SMTP over 465 (SMTPS) directly ?

@Gertjan Really wish I could, we have some legacy IPMI gear that can only send alerts in the clear to smtp, they support authentication but not SSL or TLS so it limits us configuring them to send directly to our external mail server, we need a service to capture them internally and them securely forward them externally.
