If he was using SA 2.42 and he upgraded to 2.43, perhaps he did not cancel
the old auto-whitelist, so he is using an old polluted auto-whitelist.

I'd suggest cancelling the old auto-whitelist (I use to cancel the whitelist
after any SA upgrade in which the WL mechanism has been explicitely changed).

You can usually check the auto-whitelist content using the check-whitelist
script (in the tools subdirectory of the SA source) to verify which addresses
are whitelisted and with which score.
