I have created a new mirror and have attempted to go through this process. The following are the email addresses I have tried to get my new mirror added: 1. mirror-admin@US.FreeBSD.org 2. mirror-admin@FreeBSD.org 3. hubs@FreeBSD.org 4. hostmaster@FreeBSD.org - the following was returned as a bounce: >This is a canned auto-reply to your recent email to hostmaster@freebsd.org. >Your message has NOT been read by a human. If you need human >assistance, use the following @freebsd.org addresses: >questions@ (problems finding, downloading or installing freebsd) >ftpadm@ (regarding the contents of the ftp mirrors - corrupt files etc) >hubs@ (dealing with mirrors, corrupt files on mirrors, etc) >dnsadm@ (specific dns zone change instructions) >ftp-master@ (access to ftp-master.*.freebsd.org) I then attempted the following email addresses: 5. hubs@FreeBSD.org 6. dnsadm@FreeBSD.org None of these emails were answered at all. I also sent an email to 7. freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.org (mailing list), which did get a response from another member of the list recommending I read the FreeBSD handbook procedure. I explained my previous attempts but didn't get any responses. Also I tried the IRC channel a few times. What is the correct procedure for getting a new mirror added? This process is too difficult and will discourage bandwidth donators.
