It's a characteristic of DNS. Yes indeed, but until now there havent been any clear manual which defines how to use the power which comes by being in charge of xx.freebsd.org. At least, I havent seen any documentation which covers email addresses related to xx.freebsd.org domains. If there were, then we wouldnt be discussing about whether it is advisable to give emails of xx.freebsd.org domains or not. We would just know the answer, I presume. ;) Since this seems to be a subject which needs to be addressed. I suggest that the freebsd team should define a set of rules about administration of these domains' email distribution or we should make a set of rules and propose to the FreeBSD team. Which in return would be published at FreeBSD web site for the review of domain administrators now and in future. > > So the question arises that who would define the guidelines of giving > > @xx.freebsd.org email accounts etc. for the local sites?

What kind of work grants the person to get the address? Is there anywhere a written definition for this?
