You can't set it to your local machine, because the reason for using
ssmtp is that your machine doesn't have an MTA. If you want to send mail
from the machine without going through a gateway, you need to install a
proper MTA like Postfix.

The ssmtp man page should help you understand what it does and doesn't do.
