Why would you think that spam was sent by the actual holder of that
org domain? Since the address contained an underscore, it's invalid
anyway so you could probably reject the message without a lot of extra
checks.

My plan is that whatever you discover by the tree walk replaces the OD.  In the 
likely
common case that the tree walk ends at _dmarc.<orgdomain> you get the same 
result either
way.
