I don't really check the logs of the Exim servers too much, but no I don't
believe it to be falsing too much - just too many dorks getting themselves
listed for having spammers on their systems (so many clueless web designers
setting up hackable formmail scripts).

Besides, falsing blacklists (meaning hitting too much) is good for me & the
servers - less email to process :D

I've had good results using just spamcop and spamhaus. Doesn't block out
too much, and doesn't block out too little. It's nice because spamhaus
lists the known baddies and is a more static list since it's manually
maintained (afaik), and then spamcop gets all those newbies since it's
automatic - if it's listing a falser then it's not a big sweat since they'll
get pulled in a few days of no issues anyhow which is acceptable.
