Based on my reading of the last sniffer thread, this will not cause degradation in performance because Declude is "smart" enough to only call sniffer once for multiple tests, but....
1. What if the tests are different types, in this case external and externalplus?
That's not a problem. The test will still only be run once. If the test has been run before in the same way (same program name and parameters), it will not be run again, regardless of whether it is defined as external or externalplus.
If the program is called in a different way (with different parameters, for example), then it will be run again.
2. What performance impact is there in adding the additional action?
There should be very little degradation in performance. It should not be noticeable.
4. If the message gets my subject line modification because it fails weighting, but is whitelisted per the new external plus test, will that negate the action on weighting?
That is correct. When an E-mail is whitelisted, it is forced to pass all the spam tests, so no action will be taken.
