Subject: Enhancement request...

In ftpcmd.y, line 1367 the string in the reply hard codes the 
username 'ftp-bugs' and uses only the hostname for the
domain address.

I would like to see one or more of the following:

1 - use the 'email' directive from the ftpaccess file. 

2 - add a directive for 'domainname' (or pick it up from the system)
    that is used for the %D expansion

3 - add a directive for 'admin' for an administrative email address
    that could be different from the 'email' ftp archive maintainer
    and expanded for %A.

I've hacked the code to load the full domain name for my site into
sitename which I've changed for hostname as the cscope output details.

Enjoy!  Comments welcome!
