Kristofer,
discuss@@openoffice.org is the working address of a public mailing
list which has always had public archives of every message, and
explicitly declares it somewhere on the website.
At this point, there is no way to remove those pages with your
addresses from the Internet. This is a general fact. Even if the
managers of Ooo did what you ask:
- the pages are mirrored by many other independent websites, which you
should hunt one by one
- the spammers already have that address in their lists anyway, so why
bother?
- it is not even certain that showing up in the OOo archives is what
got you on some list. If you write to some relative whose computer
is infested by a spambot which harvests addresses from incoming
email and uses them for spamming, you're toast anyway. Less likely,
but possible.
You should have been more careful when you read the policy of some
online forum or use it. If you're receiving too much spam, you should
either stop using that address and be more careful with a new one from
now on, or install some good anti-spam system.
