Description
I'd like to suggest adding a variable to all spam sources that, at the very least, identify any result from the source (positive or negative) as spam. Say, a "$is_spam_source" variable that is set to false by callerid.php on entry, that spam source should set to true if it is a spam source (regardless if it had a positive hit or not).
In addition, I'd like to open discussion on the feasibility of aggregate spam scoring. Where multiple spam sources would report back a spam score to callerid.php. In this case, if a single source didn't have a high enough score to trigger spam, the aggregate score of multiple sources could.

At the moment, Who_Called is the only source reporting back, and it will not report back if the CNAM came from Who_Called, which makes perfect sense. However, if the CNAM came from the Cache, and the cache was originally populated by Who_Called, then the Who_Called source will report back, which I think could be a problem. It may be necessary to keep track of which spam source has flagged the call as spam so that the result won't be cached and reported back to the same lookup source.
