Cannot send/receive mail locally for cronie [solved]

Question

I installed the heirloom-mailx package so cronie can send messages but I cannot send a test message to myself.
% echo "test" | mailx -s "test message" mags
/usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory
"/home/mags/dead.letter" 9/210
. . . message not sent.
So I installed ssmtp after searching but that does not work either.
% echo "test" | mailx -s "test message" mags
% send-mail: Cannot open wallflower:25
My /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf:
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=mags
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.
mailhub=wallflower
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=y
# The full hostname
hostname=wallflower
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Edit: Tried https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dma/ - works:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Oct 2 01:23 /usr/bin/sendmail -> dma
$ echo "foo" | mailx -n -s "test" karol
$ mail
Heirloom Mail version 12.5 7/5/10. Type ? for help.
"/var/spool/mail/karol": 1 message 1 new
>N 1 karol@black Wed Oct 2 01:25 17/447 "test"
