I've dealt with SPEWS before and I think the people who run it are 
assholes. They are so militant and elitest it really gets under my skin. 
They don't care how many innocents get blocked by their blanket listings 
because "SPEWS isn't blocking anyone, we are just providing a list of 
people.. the ISP is blocking you." While technically, I understand the 
loophole, it's stupid not to take responsibility for your actions.

If you've been listed in SPEWS, you might as well switch ISPs because 
nothing will save you.

As for no-response, you're right, it's not ideal when a human gets 
blocked.  However, usually a blacklist is that way because it is an open 
door for spammers and the mail admistrator has been contacted.  It seems 
like there's a flaw with how S P E W S listed you if 
postmaster@<yourbox> did not get a notice that it was listed.
