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? > How do we plan to support the ftpmail? Add the dependency module as > self-contained in proftpd package No. That is not done for any of the other Perl modules that the contrib scripts might use, and bundling such things tends to cause them to become out-of-date with respect to e.g. CPAN, due to the differing release schedules of ProFTPD, versus those modules. > just remove the ftpmail script as I > noticed that other distribution such as fedora, ubuntu, centos not ship > the script ftpmail by default. Those distributions do not include ftpmail in their _packages_, but that is a very different thing that not including the script in the _source_ release of ProFTPD. If you don't/can't use the ftpmail script on your systems, then don't use it.
