Is /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf reverting to default state after reboot in 11.5.1?

I modified /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf's mailhub value to route local mail through our relays and tested successfully. However after rebooting the device, /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf reverted to its default stat...

Here's an update from F5, this method will set the mailhub value in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf and persist through a reboot:

 

tmsh modify sys outbound-smtp mailhub your.relayserver.com:25

That is funny. I was trying "modify /sys smtp-server..." Wonder what that is for. Maybe they should document that. Thanks Paul.
