    As a user, I cannot obviously dictate how the spam filters are setup in
    Debian related mailing lists. At the same time, I am not proficient
    enough to create spam filters of my own. The following method is what I
    used to have a spam-free emails from Debian related MLs.

    1) Create a separate gmail account for subscribing to email lists.
    2) Use this email account to subscribe to mailing lists.
    3) gmail filters almost all the spam (99% efficient for me). But gmail
    reader does not have a tree view to read emails.
    4) Set up a pop account on your local machine and forward your gmail's
    emails to this.
    5) Read the spam free emails in your favorite email client.

    I guess this is not the best solution there is. But it is probably the
    one with least effort from the user.
