Unfortunately, my home addresses are affect now as well so it is no longer just a matter of turning the addresses off.
Thanks for all the responses, everyone.

Webarchives store the content of mailing lists,
to prevent the information of those lists from getting lost.
(sorry for the bad english!).
some archives I know:
lists.virus.org/snort-users-0308
archives.neohapsis.com/archives/ snort
www.mcabee.org/lists/snort-users
That's a good thing, but unfortunately some of those lists
don't "x" your e-mail adresses out, like d.haslinger () xxxxxxxx xxx
So E-Mail Crawler which search the web for e-Mail Adresses are able
to find and store your Adresses and use them for spamming-purposes.
That's one of the negative parts of mailing lists, but quite common,
be happy that you use a "special" address, I'm full of spam here, and
I use the addy for commercial purposes ... so I'm not able to turn it
off if I want to..
hth,
