As maintainer of the freebsd comms/hylafax port, I have created a new list:
	freebsd-hylafax@vector.eikon.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de
& this alias:
	freebsd-hylafax-request@vector.eikon.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de

I would like to ask postmaster@freebsd.org to create a successor list:
	hylafax@freebsd.org (or perhaps freebsd-hylafax@freebsd.org)
As vector.eikon.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de:
	- uses my 9K6 daily slip link, 
	- is a mouthful of a hostname 
	- isn't as appropriate as freefall anyway :-)
	- doesn't run majordomo yet, (I  vi /etc/aliases + newaliases).
If this proposal is acceptable to postmaster@freebsd.org,
	I will establish aliases for a while to freebsd.org from vector.

The new list's remit:

-------
- This list is for those interested in discussing the FreeBSD specific aspects
  of Hylafax. This is a self help group, not a place to give up & offload your
  problems ;-) Get the Hylafax source on FreeBSD from ports/comms/hylafax. 
- Hylafax generic aspects not unique to FreeBSD should be posted to
  flexfax@sgi.com, not here, ( echo "info flexfax" | mail majordomo@sgi.com)
- Generic FreeBSD concerns that merely concern Hylafax as one of many FreeBSD 
  ports, belong in lists such as ports@ or current@ or hackers@freebsd.org
  ( echo "info ports" | mail majordomo@freebsd.org)
- The list will not be subscribed to either ports@freebsd.org or
  flexfax@sgi.com, senders should manually CC either (but not both) if
  they feel it truly appropriate.
- The list is unmoderated
-------

I have created an initial membership list of:
	jhs@freebsd.org,john@starfire.mn.org
I can't find my list of freebsd hylafax people, 
So would they people (Lars Fredriksen, Andrei Chernov ? etc ) please mail
  freebsd-hylafax-request@vector.eikon.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de,

I will later post a similar announcement to flexfax@sgi.com.

I will add a suggestion to subscribe, to the ports/comms/hylafax/Makefile 
post-install:

I realise we dont want a mail list for each freebsd port, but Hylafax is
particularly big, with lots of tricky interfaces etc, hence need for the list,
(A posting from john@starfire to ports@ was what sparked me to this idea).
