No need to "uninstall" the existing ftpd. Comment out the line from
inetd.conf or do not run it as a daemon.

Then you should probably put this address in the "From:" field
(instead of the planethalflife.com address) or in the "Reply-To"
field. It is customary on the FreeBSD lists to send replies to the
sender and only CC the list.
