Oh, sure have. Spews has listed an entire /19 of ours before, merely
because of a multi-stage relay (customer had an open relay configured to
dump everything to our mailserver).
As far as I have seen, that is not the typical reason for a spews nom.
Spews seems to target a fairly similar crowd to what (say) the SBL targets, but uses a rather wider brush.

To forestall further discussion on this, I'd suggest reading http://www.scconsult.com/bill/dnsblhelp.html - especially http://www.scconsult.com/bill/dnsblhelp.html#4-20
