While your assumption is that you are getting spam because your email
is published on those websites, this does not say it is true cause of
you getting spam.

It is enough that you give your email address to anybody, like a
friend or associate, and you can start getting spam.

Mailing list archives do not obfuscate email addresses, and in
automated data harvesting that is easily solved.

Please note, it is more important for people to communicate and be
able to reach each other than taking care of individual spam
problems.

My side spam is mostly being solved automatically, server side, by
using Spamhouse. You may advise to your email service provider to use
that feature or some other feature.

Spam problem is not a remote problem, not something on outside parties
to solve, it is to be solved on your side. You may train your email
client to recognize spam. Email is not and never was perfect.
