OK, I don't get it:
[wolfy at wolfy ~]$ rpm -ql ssmtp --scripts
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/sbin/alternatives  --install /usr/sbin/sendmail mta 
/usr/sbin/sendmail.ssmtp 30 \
    [other slave links removed]
    [etc stuff removed from paste]
/usr/bin/mailq.ssmtp
/usr/bin/newaliases.ssmtp
/usr/sbin/sendmail.ssmtp
/usr/sbin/ssmtp

[wolfy at wolfy ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/sendmail
sendmail-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5.i386
ssmtp-2.61-11.1.el4.i386

There is no %ghost here... where does the difference towards ettercap 
come from, since I have used the same postinstall scriptlet ?
