    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 at 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:

        Added ftpmail, a Perl script which reads a TransferLog FIFO and sends
        automatic email notifications for uploads.
