knowing a bit more about the precise class of problem (i.e. spammer is
pretending to be internal), it could be made to help...

I might be able to work with it; e.g. I can raise the score for anything
spoofed as being in our net that isn't legitimate... but that's still a
workround, methinks

By the way, do NOT implement the the solution as provided in the FAQ without
being very specific with machine names or exact IP addresses.  The spammer in
my situation is spoofing the 192.168 net!

(You listed the same FAQ twice).

I will be more explicit.
  Is there a better / more recommended __SA__ solution than
"auto_whitelist_factor 0" ?

This is what AWL is supposed to be doing; if AWL is not doing this properly,
a workaround will only solve MY problem. I am trying to solve THE problem,
not just MY problem.
