Can messages with "FA:" at the start not just be filtered out. I think this

If .market.auction required that posts to it were not crossposted with any
other groups, that would help.  But I've seen places where a discussion
migrated from .market.auction to .market.theory -- so it really shouldn't
prevent crossposting to -all- other groups.

Which groups would make sense to allow into the exceptions list?  I'm
thinkin' a pretty skinny list:

   .market.theory
   .admin.general
