[Grml] msmtp through ssh-tunnel

This might be more appropriately directed to msmtp-users, but as
there's the following in the ~/.msmtprc that came with grml, I
thought I'd check here first.
# use ssh-tunnel
# ==============
# set up tunnel via ssh:
# ssh -l mika -L 9999:your.rootserver.tld:25 user at sshserver.tld -N -f
#
# host localhost
# port 9999
Wanting to tunnel msmtp through ssh, I tried this in my ~/.msmtprc:
from username1 at mydomain.net
ssh -l john -L 9999:mydomain.net:25 username1 at mydomain.net -N -f
host localhost
port 9999
And in ~/.muttrc : set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
But got the following error when attempting to send a message:
msmtp: /home/john/.msmtprc: line 25: unknown command ssh
Probably I'm overlooking something(s) obvious regarding the use of
ssh and msmtp... Should that ssh command be invoked independently of
msmtp somehow, maybe in a wrapper script? Should I be looking at the
set_sendmail.sh script?
Any pointers much appreciated.
