Have you tried asking the server administrators what is wrong?

The username that WWWOFFLE sends for anonymous FTP is one that is made
from the hostname of your computer.  If you have a real hostname (like
jidanni.org) associated to your computer then there are many ways that
this can leak, not just with WWWOFFLE.

You have a configuration file option already that will hide your
e-mail address.  If you are trying to go undercover then it is a good
idea to read the instructions for the software that you are using and
make sure that you configure it appropriately.
