Help. Made the stupid mistake on joining a mailing list that publishes your address and sends posts to all and won’t let you remove your name (The OPEN OFFICE SUPPORT GROUP). I also get too much spam since my account is almost 7 years old.
On a related topic. I love the forum style to get information. I don’t know why the open office support group still uses bulk e-mail posts for their questions and answers. If I must use them again, what should I do? Create a special e-mail account on a free service to use it. How do you manage your mailing lists or sites with mandatory registration?

Do NOT give your real email address to anyone except close friends and family*, use a yahoo/hotmail/gmail one for registering on websites.
*except those that like to forward email they received to everyone, they pass on your email address to others.
mailinator.com for disposable email addresses.
