Halt. Cease. Flag on play.

You should never ever take such an action based on a single DNS based black
list. Haven't you heard of false positives and incorrect listings? Did you
know that for about a year, (do not know about recently,) that SpamCop was
listing Dunn & Bradstreet off and on? Turned out it was people who were
having actions taken against that reported LEGIT e-mail to SpamCop as spam
and got it listed.
