I currently create a new email address for every category of mailing list that I join. I know others use special accounts for mailing lists which refuse to receive any mail that doesn't come from one of the lists that they associate with the account (or else they accomplish the filtering in their email client). A word of warning: When I first joined freebsd-questions, I joined with my "main" preferred only-for-friends spam-safe email address by mistake. Being lazy, I waited a few hours to correct that, unjoining, and rejoining with the desired address. But ever since then I get matching paired spams on the two addresses: the one I used by mistake for a few hours, and the one that I use at the moment ONLY for freebsd-questions. Fortunately I get only 1 or 2 spams a day like this, but I'm afraid it will grow and I will have to give up my main email address, or get deeply into spam filtering, which so far I have avoided.
