I suppose both exist for historical reasons.  However the correct
mailing-lists addresses are the form freebsd-*@FreeBSD.org.
The simple reason is coherency among all mailing-lists :
freebsd-security@FreeBSD.org is not the same as security@FreeBSD.org
which points to the FreeBSD Security Officer (so@FreeBSD.org) IIRC.
