Your own logs would likely explain that best, but I have a theory...

SPEWS is rather aggressive. It seems to be run with the intent of 
causing 'collateral damage'  and thus making it important for people 
near the spammers (in network terms) to find a way to eject them. 
SPEWS will definitely reject legitimate mail.

Manage your own blacklist.

Turn on "Verify Return Paths" in SIMS.

Dig through your logs for any addresses that are bogus but get a lot 
of mail (almost surely spam) aimed at them, and turn them into 
spamtraps.
