Only as it is presently implemented.

Any email admin can block the address of spammers and the like 
without actually having to read/vet every post. A seperate list is 
not necessary.

Pass thru any post marked "urgent"  or "help" without delay. Keep it 
on the main list. Simple. Fast. No fuss.

>2. I wonder whether people will actually use it for urgent matters only.

If people use the "help" tag as a ruse to post spam, propaganda, porn 
etc etc - put them in the killfile. If the odd off colour post gets 
thru before admin can attend to it I think the subscribers would be 
more than understanding.
