SA Bugzilla – Bug 5161
Add an option to show results in two scoresets at once

Most people these days are running network tests since they help so much. But there are some people that for various reasons still must or want to rely solely on local tests. For the few of us that are willing to write rules to cater to the rules-only people, but still have decided to run network tests for normal scoring of our mail, it would be real nice if we could talk SA into scoring the message twice. Once with the normal scoring selection that will be used for the Official Score, and a second time with an alternate scoreset of our choice that will only produce an informational result header in the final message (and possibly added information in the Subject rewrite). Doing this would obviously add overhead, since you would have to run the rules twice in different configurations. However it would be easier to set up and maintain than installing two copies of SA with different rule bases and trying to keep them in sync. It would have the distinct advantage of showing both scores in the same message, making it easy to search for things that would have made it through in rules-only but got blasted with network tests. It isn't at all clear to me hos difficult somoething like this would be to implement. But possibly the recent changes to pluginizing the main rules engine and adding the other bits of modularity might make this easier. Alternately, an option to just score the message in all 4 scoresets (but being able to specify which scoreset gives the Official Result) would do as well if that was easier to implement.
This sounds like a great use of a plugin, but I don't think it'd be useful for the core code, so closing as wontfix.
