What is my email doing there?

By doing a search for my email, I found it listed online on this site:

http://www.sunbursttitle.com/general/2006/3/8.html

What exactly is this website?
And how did my email get listed among the top 100 receiver?

This is not my daily use email, I use it for subscriptions so I expect to get spam on it and I do. But how did it get listed on that website?
Can I ask for it to be removed?

That page is the log analysis of a mailserver. Evidently it's a mail server that mail for you occasionally passes through! It seems really tacky to post this information now that it's not 1996 and Spam exists.

Probably webmaster or postmaster @linx.com would be a good person to contact to complain to.

What aubilenon said -- I just looked at it and was about to say almost exactly that.

thanks, I will contact postmaster @linx.com and see what will happen.
Also, it seems it can happen to anyone and their can get posted like that!

It's not just your email address that shouldn't be published; it's nearly everyone's.
