This simply is not possible, by design. When you post to a public mailing list, it's, well, public, and your messages may be (and generally are) copied to multiple archives. Those archives are not under the control of the SpamBayes developers, and it is not possible to locate every copy of your messages. That's why, if you go to the SpamBayes contact page (http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/contact.html), you'll see the following warning:
 
"There are currently five mailing lists of interest. All lists are public, and all are publicly archived. This is normal practice for open-source projects, and you should be aware that all email sent to one of these addresses will be visible to the world."
 
So, the cat is unfortunately out of the bag. In the future, do not post to public lists if you wish to hide your name. Note that if you send private messages to developers, they may post a reply to a public list if they think the information in the exchange might help someone else. You can ask them not to do that, but they may reasonably decline to reply at all in that case.
 
There are anonymous email services (search Google for "anonymous email" for a selection) that can help skirt these issues.
