You can call a script by 'Pipe message to Shell Command'. If you call it
with a distinct parameter for each rule, a small and simple Perl script
can log every triggered rule.

Evo 1.3.x (at least since 1.3.3) has that action in the 'then' part of
the filters.

As Evo 1.2.x does not have it, you can use the same as _last_ criterion
(execute if ALL criteria are met) and let the script return 1.


FWIW: Nope, AFAIK there is no such feature implemented. File it, if you
do think it is necessary. But don't expect it for the next weeks... ;-)


That Perl script should be really simple. And I eve can think of ways to
show that log file within Evo. Getting curious, maybe...
