How to send mail in python ssmtp vs smtplib

Question

I need to send an email to delbian linux. How to send? I am running my server on a 256 MB linux box, and I heard that postfix and sendmail are overloaded.

I recently came across ssmtp, which seems executable, to be executed as a process and called via python using os modules.

python already provides smtplib which works great with me.

What is the advantage of using ssmtp over python smtplib?
