Seems to be a Cloudflare issue.

Radioactive network: About the DROP list

Don't Route Or Peer (DROP) lists the worst of the worst IP traffic. It is
an advisory “drop all traffic”, containing IP ranges which are so dangerous
to internet users that Spamhaus provides access to anyone who wants to add
this layer of protection, free of charge.

Cloudflare has IP ranges all the way up on the Spamhaus DROP list.
Cloudflare says they cannot control this.

172.70.206.0/23 (Spamhaus SBL687772) 512 addresses
172.70.214.0/23 (Spamhaus SBL687314) 512 addresses

Is Cloudflare in a "might makes right" position, or should someone be
working to resolve the issues causing the SBL?
