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...)

You've obviously never used cPanel... or any web-based server config software, for that matter. They (unsurprisingly) allow you to do a bunch of basic stuff much more easily, but anything as complex as a DNSBL and you're back to the command line (sometimes with hacks)... for example, http://forums.serverbeach.com/archive/index.php/t-2071.html
