I know it's "big evil corporate overlord", but Gmail is pretty damned good at it, really.
If I get spam from a company I recognize I gave my email to, I'll go in it and click the unsubscribe button and do it that way. Anyone else and I just mark it as spam and Gmail does a pretty good job of sending swaths of junk emails into the spam folder. I don't get much that slips through. Very occasionally I'll sign up for something I'm supposed to get an email for but don't, and I'll find it in the spam folder. If I think I'll want more emails from that company, I move it to my regular folder.
Have a read on the trouble the 2600 guys have been having sending out emails for the next HOPE conference - the junk filter is also great at filtering out topics it deems unsuitable.
