You share your email only with Craigslist and they are trustworthy. When you get an offer that sounds fishy, just delete and forget about it. When you finally get a contact that seems legitimate, only then would you supply your email address, physical address or phone number. Eventually, you are going to have to do that no matter where you are trying to sell.
