Something like this is done in evolution mailer - it uses filters to
lunch commands for specific mails, but the idea is just like with the
privacy settings.

Anyway - evolution is using two dialogs
http://vivid.dat.pl/psi/shot_evo.png
First dialog - top left - is used to add new / edit / delete / and to
place filters in order. On second one you can see settings dialog (this
one is interesting I think).
For choosing contacts/transport/etc that belongs to list, there are easy
for users rules : contains / do not contain / is / isn't and more.
Gerally - there is always a rule and it's negation. Rules are as simple
as they can be.
For mails there are very similar rules - you can add as many actions to
the rule as you want. They are also as simple as it is possible.

I think it would be best to join your idea of single dialog and idea of
'as simple as possible' rules (just ike in the evolution).
