From e4365a234e82e052415a374d970ca1bb9007b162 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mingli Yu Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2016 13:49:24 +0800 Subject: proftpd: remove the script ftpmail * Remove the ftpmail script to avoid confusion about it fails to run because it lacks a dependency on Mail/Sendmail.pm which is not shipped by default. Also it has not been maintained for more than 10 years as http://search.cpan.org/~mivkovic/Mail-Sendmail/Sendmail.pm. * And it's bad to add the dependency perl module Mail/Sendmail.pm as it's too old and also send email to Proftp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net to ask guidance about ftpmail as below: Q: In my environment, the ftpmail fails to run as it lacks the dependency on Mail/Sendmail.pm which is not shipped by default and also not maintained more than 10 years as http://search.cpan.org/~mivkovic/Mail-Sendmail/Sendmail.pm. A: Patches for updates to the ftpmail script are highly encouraged! If the Mail-Sendmail package is not to your preference, what would you suggest/prefer using instead? We don't plan to do more improvements about the perl module Mail-Sendmail now since it's not something we, or other distros apparently need as other distribution also not include the ftpmail script. * The ftpmail is initially added as a perl script to send an email notification when upload proftpd log as below commit in https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd.git: commit 8d602d4bf01ef0c6464c7a16dbbe570a0322dc17 Author: castaglia Date: Thu Mar 6 03:06:14 2008 +0000 Added ftpmail, a Perl script which reads a TransferLog FIFO and sends automatic email notifications for uploads.
