In fact, the ssmtp package does not create the sendmail symlink.
As far as I can tell, no Cygwin package sets up such a symlink.

You should have read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.60.9.README.
It tells you how to create the config file.  It has to be done 
locally.  

Incidentally you don't need revaliases; it can be used if you want
different users on your machine to send their mail via different 
mailhubs.
