> The Debian binary packages from Open Build Service have sendmail binary location set to SENDMAIL-NOTFOUND by default but provide no SendMail parameter in broctl.cfg to set the correct location. This means, out of the box, Bro does not send any summary connection reports to the configured email recipient.
> For a recent binary installation, I had to manually add the following line to broctl.cfg file to resolve the issue:
> SendMail = /usr/sbin/sendmail
> Here is the output of broctl config right after installation:
> Hint: Run the broctl "deploy" command to get started.
