Send a notice to that list, and all recipients will receive a
copy. But you don't have a list per recipient. If you did, then why
would you bother with a mailing list system -- why not just send a
message directly to each of those users?

That's not going to work.

If every user has a unique event that only they care about, you
will probably need to build your own system -- just have a database
of users and what events they're interested in, and then send out
e-mail messages every time one of those events happen.
