Hi,


There is a question about the ftpmail of the package proftpd.



root@super_micro-1:~# rpm -qf /usr/bin/ftpmail

proftpd-1.3.5a-r0.0.corei7_64



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.



root@super_micro-1:~# ftpmail -h

Can't locate Mail/Sendmail.pm in @INC (you may need to install the

Mail::Sendmail module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl

/usr/lib64/perl/site_perl/5.22.1/ /usr/lib64/perl/site_perl/5.22.1

/usr/lib64/perl/vendor_perl/5.22.1/ /usr/lib64/perl/vendor_perl/5.22.1

/usr/lib64/perl/5.22.1/ /usr/lib64/perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/lib/site_perl

/usr/lib64/perl/5.22.1 .) at /usr/bin/ftpmail line 26.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/ftpmail line 26.



How do we plan to support the ftpmail? Add the dependency module as

self-contained in proftpd package or just remove the ftpmail script as I

noticed that other distribution such as fedora, ubuntu,  centos not ship

the script ftpmail by default.



And reference the repo https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd.git, the

ftpmail is added as a perl script

to send email notification when upload proftpd log as

below commit:



    commit 8d602d4bf01ef0c6464c7a16dbbe570a0322dc17

      Added ftpmail, a Perl script which reads a TransferLog FIFO and

sends automatic email notifications for uploads.





Thanks,

Grace
