When Active/Standby failover send mail

Hello,

I'm trying to get email notifications on my gmail if a BigIP redundancy pair failover occurs.
Here are my settings :

# vi /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
root=XXXXX@gmail.com
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
Hostname=bigipA.gmail.com
FromLineOverride=YES
TLS_CA_FILE=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
UseSTARTTLS=Yes
UseTLS=Yes
AuthUser=XXXXX@gmail.com
AuthPass=xxxxxxxxxxxx

#vi /etc/alertd/alert.conf
alert BIGIP_SOD_SODERR_SOD_STANDBY {
snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.14";
lcdwarn description="Unit going standby." priority="0";
email toaddress="XXXXX@gmail.com"
fromaddress="root"
body="LTM Failover : going to standby"
}
alert BIGIP_SOD_SODERR_SOD_ACTIVE {
snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.15";
lcdwarn description="Unit going Active." priority="0";
email toaddress="XXXXX@gmail.com"
fromaddress="root"
body="LTM Failover : going to active"
}

sSMTP configuration should be correct, because sending emails can be received
#echo -e "Subject: Test email for K13180\n\nssmtp test mail" | ssmtp -v XXXXX@gmail.com

When failover occurs, it does not work...

How do I change the settings?
Any help is appreciated.
