Short version:
  set sendmail="/usr/bin/ssmtp -C/etc/ssmtp/<config file>"
works just fine in a folder-hook.

Long version:
If you are reading this then I solved the problem with the previously
mentioned "-C" stuff - ssmtp does not seem to allow one to specify
"~/foo.conf" (for example) as the config file. If you set it to
-C/etc/ssmtp/foo.conf then everything will be fine and you can happily
have as many different email accounts and external mailhubs as your
heart desires and you can maintain the configurations for. I don't
know if not allowing the config file to be anywhere but /etc/ssmtp is
a bug, a feature, or a random twist of fate, but it would be nice if
the maintainer could mention it in the man file (or maybe I just
missed it when I read it).
