 Another highly-regarded DNSBL that listed that IP is zen.spamhaus.org,
 which includes the cbl feed. A lot of people trust zen enough to use it
 at the MTA level as a hard reject list.

Hmm, but if one has an MTA that is arcanely hard to configure (*ahem* Exim) and whose config files keep getting overwritten by cPanel anyway, might a reasonable (if more CPU-costly) alternative to doing that be to set something like 'score RCVD_IN_PBL 10.00'?

While "poison-pill" rules in SA are _generally_ a bad idea, doing this - after careful consideration - is reasonable.

I find it surprising that cPanel's MTA configuration system gives you no way to specify a DNSBL. This is a professional, commercial server management tool? (disclaimer: I have no experience with cPanel apart from what I hear here...)
