Because you can never be sure a DNSRBL is reliable. The ISP suspects the
message is spam, should the mail be deleted?

Deleting e-mail is bad because it mail e-mail unreliable. Except if you
generate a delivery status notification, but if the message is spam, the
sender is forget and you'll send a DSN to a random address, which is
also bad.
