RBL lookup error

new to spamassassin
installed three weeks ago v. 3.1.3 on FC5 (domain server)
works great! catches 99+% of spam

ran without errors but now getting many error messages in log file like

49.187.163.66.bl.spamcop.net: RBL lookup error: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=149.187.163.66.bl.spamcop.net type=A: Host not found, try again : 4 Time(s)

I assume it is a complaint about a response from spamcop.net
What is the error?
How do I fix?
TIA

What does "host bl.spamcop.net" provide you for an address lookup?

Perhaps your DNS is broken?

Normal internet stuff, unless spamcop's dns servers are under DOS
attack.

Nothing you can do.
