I'm skeptical that you'll be able to do automated classification of important
messages for individual users.  I'm not even sure I can do that as a human
reading a particular mailing list.  Also, what's important to me today may or
may not be important to me tomorrow, and vice versa.

Mailman has a (probably little known) feature where a list owner can send an
urgent message that bypasses digests.  If it has an Urgent: header with a
matching password, it goes straight through.
