1- ATM. It doesn't look like a general issue. 2- Any chances the Carlos' mail account was accidentally subscribed to NetIQ webinar? 3- It's there a way to stop it?

There is (I know they maintain an opt-out list), but looking at the current customer center implmentation I can't actually find it (there's a notifications section in the user profile, but there's nothing there about opting out from all contact).
I'll see if I can find out where that option went. It should certainly be more apparent where it is located.

Ah, yes, that should do it. Odd that it's not linked to in customer center, though.

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.
This should not happen and it does not seem to happen for others, so perhaps some kind of error happened ;(
Sorry to hear this.

It is the only place I looked. I had a look at SLES, but I did not register nor download it.
I have no objection to receiving one email from Novell or others telling me of their products, but not repeatedly unless I asked for them.
This should not happen and it does not seem to happen for others, so perhaps some kind of error happened ;(
Yes, at least it is not a generalized issue.

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.
You can check your e-mail address setting at http://www.novell.com/ncc - look in the "profile" settings.
I'd be willing to bet that that's where you provided it and where it came from.

Well, obviously, I had to register somewhere to enter Bugzillas and to use the forum and other things. That was years ago. The only recent one was for SUSE Studio, but then I would expect emails related to that one.

It says that I have no products. If I look at the "My Notifications" it says that my region is "North America". If that were so I would not have been receiving those notifications in Spanish.

The e-mail address in customer center is used across all the BUs (to my knowledge). If you used that login for Studio (ie, you click on the "Novell" login button when you login with openID), then it's using an existing profile.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that your account there (robin_listas) probably uses the opensuse.org e-mail address (which I'd guess you registered with), and that's how it's in the system.
I'd be willing to bet that that's where you provided it and where it came from.
Somewhere, obviously, but netiq?
NetIQ, Novell, and SUSE are the three companies in The Attachmate Group. While integration of user info with NetIQ has been slow, it has been moving forward, so it really isn't surprising to me that the "new to SUSE users" business unit (which was the only BU for Attachmate prior to the acquisition of Novell and SUSE - though Attachmate has their own tech line, nobody seems to talk about that that much - it's all "Novell/SUSE/ NetIQ") would have access to and would use these new addresses.

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.
