I never gave out addresses at first. I was very leary of doing that. Then I started to delegate the work. I gave ftp@ to the guy in charge of the ftp server. But I never gave someone an email address unless they needed it to do their job. e.g. I didn't give my mate Tom one just so he could be part of the domain. > The suggestion that the people who wants to have an @xx.freebsd.org email > address should apply to the freebsd team directly is great but again > it would require some amount of processing on the freebsd team.

The people in charge of xx.freebsd.org already have charge of email for that domain. It's a characteristic of DNS. > So the question arises that who would define the guidelines of giving > @xx.freebsd.org email accounts etc. for the local sites? Any contact > emails etc. that you can inform or provide? IMHO, those that do the work, get the addresses.
