Hello, Looking at similar problems in the future...interesting to think about.

Why not put all members on one big list, then put a customized filter that checked an external database that had all the rules.

Keep those filters in the external database. If you pick a filter for a message, indicate filter name somewhere in the message, and then send, the custom code would ask the database for the list, or whether a member should get the message. Filter management would stay in the database. Also the identity management issues you raise. Don't want to jam all that into a mailing list manager.
