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.
