Lucky you with only 60 ;-) First of all there is a mail2news-gateway and these 
lists are archived online so you can access them with your webbrowser. Both 
places ideal for harvesters and only a minor solution for the online archives 
to rewrite the address. It worked for mail.nl.linux.org where harvesters 
where no stranger :(

So you can stop posting, change your e-mailaddress or accept it an get your 
spamfiltering ready. But stop posting won't stop the spam any how, because 
you're one of the lucky ones to have been selected for there 
advertisements ;-)
