It might be that you entered your openSUSE email address somewhere on the Novell site, e.g. for downloading a SLES image, and thus got mailed this way.
suse-studio perhaps?
If you created an account at www.novell.com, www.suse.com, or www.netiq.com (for example, to access the wiki, forums, SUSE Sudio, etc.) and used the address there, then that's how it got into the system. If you used it to create a Novell Login for authentication to SUSE Studio, then you provided the address to them.
If the account was created via openSUSE, it should disable any emails.
If your account was created via novell.com or suse.com, you might get emails.
I created a test account a couple of weeks ago accessing via openSUSE.org to test that this still works - and did not receive a single email, so the setup at that point was fine. And Carlos uses this account for some time, so this is strange,
Interesting, I didn't know that there was an implicit opt-out for accounts created via openSUSE venues. Maybe someone forgot to tell NetIQ? ;) Over the years, though, I have seen instances where stuff that should have been opted out wasn't - on the Novell side, there is (was) established procedure for doing mass mailing, but I did find that not everyone followed it, which meant the emarketing team didn't scrub the list. Perhaps that happened in this case. I've seen the results of that causing me to receive stuff in Chinese at my own gmail account.
