perl module Mail::Sender deprecated?

Hi!

Which version of p5-Mail-Sender is installed ?

I've looked at the current version of the port, it's at 0.903, and
it's up2date and not marked deprecated.

But: The upstream author wrote this into its changelog:

https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/Mail-Sender

PLEASE CONSIDER USING EMAIL-SENDER INSTEAD

Please get in touch with the upstream author and ask him this question.
