This is why I'd like to see a report-home option in SA that was enabled by
default.
We could invent a class of rules that were 'test rules'. They would have nil
score and wouldn't report on the mail summary if they hit. But they would show
up in the report-home summary is to whether they hit, and whether it was ham or
spam.
Then we can make rules that pass initial testing and stick them out for what we
believe is good use, or maybe even for pure testing purposes. SA systems
around the world would pick up these rules with sa-update, and would report
home on the hit stats. If we have a good hitter that sucks in 'de', then we
move it to an english-only ruleset, or we have an exclude-de option on the
front of the rule or rule grouping. If the sysadmin has set his local language
correctly, things should work out correctly.
