'*' is a regexp modifier, not a DOS style wildcard. Your regexp
will be interpreted as
"freebsd" plus zero or more of "-" plus "@freebsd.org"
So, you want to use freebsd-.*@freebsd.org instead:
"freebsd-" plus zero or more of "any character" plus "@freebsd.org".
And you don't need the parentheses. I'd rewrite this hook as
send-hook '~C freebsd-.*@freebsd.org' my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The "~C" stands for "To: or Cc:".
