I mark anything off topic that is sent to a mailing list as spam.  
subscribe/unsubscribe messages, jesus save me messages, this message that I'm

I don't rely on bogofilter very heavily though, I first filter pure html email 
to an HTML folder ... html (in my case) is 99% spam and 90% (or more) of my 
spam.
